I will change it using the turkey baster and glass gar and i will catch it and you can watch it getting clearer.....

I never turn my rotors either... so I have a lip on the edge of the rotor that is probably an 1/16 inch or more.... 23 year old rotors.
I don't think I'll be buying any used cars from you. I also hope I never have to stop short when I'm in front of you.

Just how large do you think that vacant spot is? How much fluid do you think is actually moving when you push your brakes? Why don't you try having someone press the brakes, and see if you can measure how much the level in the reservoir changes, or look at the clearance between your pads and rotors and multiply by the area of the plungers. You may be surprised.
