but you're likely also getting low on brake pads, and there's not enough fluid to compensate. i'd definitely look over the entire brake system. at a minimum, replace the brake fluid, but be prepared to be doing build, pads, and possibly rotors as well.
You're kidding me! Every 30K miles?
That means I should have changed it 7 times by now.
I've changed it 0 times. Added a little fluid once because it was a little low. I added about a bottle caps full. Brakes work fine.
