Thunder1, Sorry for the hijack, but I'm glad you posted this.

I think I screwed up, I looked on the cap (actually for the clutch ) and it's says "Dot 3" so that's what I topped off my fluid with. I just discovered that my MC is leaking through and filling up my brake booster. That in turn, leaked all over the carpet of my footwell. (was that because I mixed 5 & 3?)
I have ordered a new MC and Booster about 5 min ago. Upon flushing the system, Im assuming with Alcohol like above, I should refill with Dot 5? Because I would have gone right back to 3. Build is #496
