Will this hold? Plastic bag vs brake fluid
Sorry for the consecutive threads and questions guys.
I havn't been driving for a couple of days, moms been using my car. After when she got home she told me about the ABS lights being on for a couple of days now. When i checked it, it turned out to be the rubber plug for the brake reservoir has been ripped and i've lost so much brake fluid. It went considerable past the minimum line and theirs brake fluid all over the rubber pipes below it. When examining the rubber plug, it does not appear to be of high quality when i pulled n tugged at it. My question is will this be alright for a few days until i can find something more solid to plug it with ( i dont want the fluid to absorb water when leaving the car outside)? I cut out a piece of plastic and wrapped it around using it as a plug with some duck tape around the edges. I can't find where to buy this rubber plug or whats its called over google or ebay. Dot 3 come in plastic bottles but this is a cheap plastic bag as per the pic so im not sure if dot 3 will eat away at it while i look for something solid to replace it with Heres a pic EDIT: Im not gonna drive it of course, its just for protecting the fluid from gathering moisture.
