^^This is exactly what I was going to say. I 'topped off' the fluid in my car at one point and then when I changed the rear pads and rotors drove about 40 miles at highway speed and all of a sudden the rear brakes nearly locked up. As the overfilled fluid heated up it pushed the pads in and ruined my day at 4am when I saw smoke pouring out of my car in the rearview mirror. I didn't realize what it was or I could have solved it quickly but instead sat there waiting for a shop to open in that town.

Oh, yes, if it continues to become low, you might want to look for a leak.
