HippoSleek is an unknown quantity at this point
James -
you'll notice there were two scenarios in the section of my post you quoted: 1) worn pads and 2) a leak.

I also disagree w/ your assessment of the fix. Worn pads should be replaced. Simply topping off the resevoir may lead to forgetting to worry about the pads until it is too late. While most squeal, many (especially aftermarket) pads do not. Your first notice of wear is grinding rotors. In fact, the best way to know the condition of your brakes at all times is to NEVER add fluid to your resevoir.
