Question too much brake fluid?

Hey guys, today when i checked my brake fluid it was overfull. It was at proper level about a week ago when i checked it but now it spilled out when i opened the cap.
So i dont understand where this extra came from. Could water have got in there some how?air? she still stops like usual. btw 85' 250 2wd

well.....

first of all make sure you get that brake fluid off of wherever it went as it's really nasty stuff. It'll eat paint.

Next was the nose of the truck pointed up when you filled in and down when you last checked?

only other thing that I can think of is there might be a sticking brake pedal. Or your anti-vibration clips are pushing the front calipers back into their holes a little.
