    Should i put an clutch fan on?

    It was laying face down till I found it. How do I know if its okay? And so it allows slip when cool/ at running temp, but if it warms it will lock up more and spin faster?

    Brake light coming on?

    The Master cylinder is fully topped off. and i mean its as full as it can be. I assume before when the light was always on i had a tripped proportioning valve that now had reset and working again. should i now re bleed everything one more time?
