How much brake fluid?

How much fluid do I need to bleed/flush the brakes? I am going to order a Motive power bleeder and do the brake pads at the same time.

On a side note, I took my '01 Base in to the dealer to have the rear suspension clunk that I've had since summer investigated. It was the rear track arms. That is when they told me I need brake pads/rotors and flush ($1700 for both). The tech said that Porsches are unique because the rotors need replaced with the pads. I only have 38K on what I assume are the originals. Do these need replaced?

They also found that my engine was leaking oil near the spark plugs into the catch pan. I said I have not seen oil on the ground at all and he said it was all in the catch pan and this is a common problem. My extended warranty is sending someone to verify the track arms and oil leak issue tomorrow, so I will let everyone know what the outcome is.
