I had new front brakes installed about 4-5 months ago. The rotors are Powerstop and the pads are Wagner Severe Duty. About starting 2-3 weeks ago when i hit the brakes it sounds like sandpaper. Not a problem at all before that. Rinsed them off really well and sound is still there. But did notice in my brake fluid reservoir its almost overflowing. I did have the back brakes done could that much of somehow gotten into the lines to push more fluid into the reservoir to cause a problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Its an 2003 F150 FX4 4 Wheel Disc Brake.

Calipers are not releasing all the way.. no place for the fluid to go.. drain it to the correct level

he said when he hits the brakes it sounds like sandpaper, probably due to the friction
material in those super duty pads, I had that problem years ago on a t-bird I put
lifetime warranty pads on. the material is just to hard.

He said severe duty pads not super duty .. and he also stated the fluid was about to over flow from his reservoir .. I can read

I didn't mean super duty as in the truck, I meant as in heavy duty pads, I could believe the brakes making noise
if the calipers weren't releasing all the way but he said it only makes the noise when he
uses the brakes, so how do they not releasing correlate to them making noise only when
braking?

Suctioned out and leveled out the fluid and no change with noise. Been about a week since i leveled off the fluid. Could it be air in the lines or anything like that.
