Best bet is to make sure you spec the pad for your particular caliper.
The manufacturer is stamped on an open space but you have to clean it up to see. Sometimes not that obvious.

Might as well replace the pads. Then you can eyeball the calipers for leaks.
Pad wear patterns can also shed light on calipers behavior.

I forget what's the idea behind the rear reservoir..... I only recall that one must be sure to top out both after refilling.
