The only thing that doesn't explain is why the car was leaking.
If it's dot 3 or dot 4 fluid, how can it be wrong fluid??

My understanding of the GTR fluid is nothing more than a high performance DOT 4 brake fluid. High performance meaning it has a higher dry and wet boiling points.

Neither of these attributes really make a difference unless the fluid is used in harsh conditions - track or HPDE events.

As stated, if the issue is a leaking slave or master (or both), this 'fix' will not fix anything.
