>> like to stab the bottles so they drain faster
Too stupid to squeeze the bottles so they empty much faster than draining.
WOW. I commend you on posting though.

>>being so poor you have to do your own maintenance
Not OP but am a mechanic and DO NOT WANT other people doing my maintenance, especially oil change monkeys overtorquing my drain plugs.
If I hit the lottery I'd buy a bigger shop and still do my own maintenance, repairs and modiifications.
The level of stupid even in fancy dealerships boggles the fucking mind.

If it was gonna leak, it would have by now. Make sure plug is tight (not stupid tight, correctly tight) and drive on.

Nope.
Definitely nonwhite.

Brake problems are basic to isolate. Bleed and if it's still fucked but doesn't leak, replace master cylinder would be my choice.
That's the "poor" option. I'd replace the master cylinder then bleed everything if the master isn't insanely expensive.
If you unbolt the master from the vacuum booster and see leakage the master is bad, but they can also fail internally and not leak out the ass.
I really suggest you post in brand specific vehicle forums or at least post year, make and model. Not all vehicles are identical and Veeky Forums "no details" posting customs are retarded.
