I guess the trick is to know how much fluid is the minimum...

There was still fluid visible in the reservoir when my  rear brakes quick
working, or I should say when my lost most my pedal.

I'm liking the remote kits better and better the more we dialog about this.

Most modern dual master cylinders already have this.  The trick is
to not cut all the way to the bottom, just a notch down part way.
That way, if one side leaks out, the other still has a minimum
amount of fluid to operate.
