rule of thumb for next time. brake fluid doesn't evaporate. it's hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water, which lowers it's boiling point, and makes for a spongy pedal.

so if it's low, either it's time to change pads, or you have a leak.

either way, it's rarely worth topping off before investigating, as if you have a leak, you'll need to purge the system anyways to correct the leak, and if the pads are low, the level will go back up when you change the pads.
