Does that makes sense? lower the pad = lower the level.

If you refill the level and add more pad, then it should overfill and spout out.

If the brake pedal seems squishy, bleed it and go from there.
yea i knew that, if the brakes are worn down then your brake fluid will go down as well. I didn't know that if you put new ones on, then fill up the brake fluid that it would overflow. Because after he replaced them I went and added some brake fluid cause it was a bit low. I didn't realize that it would spout out and leak a little. So I guess my problem is normal then, just wanted to make sure. But I asked him about bleeding them and he said he did that too. But its just weird because the pedal is really squishy and supposedly its suppose to be like that after this job is done (rotors and pads) at least i was told this. thats why i dunno why it would still be squishy if he did bleed them afterwards.
