Like I said, make sure you're actually running out of pad first. If you're not, then the brake fluid may be getting lost somewhere. Get a look at your pads before you buy replacement parts.

That is what I get for ignoring my own guideline of it is usually the simple thing so don't jump to the more complex based on minimal information.

As was said it now needs to be checked as to why the level is so low. Just pouring more fluid in fixes the symptom not the cause.
DANG ...... you don't have to get all sore, just because you are one point behind .......

Besides, maybe some of the fluid just got hot and evaporated ...... or the crickets drank it ......

Thirsty crickets haha

Well a question I had about my brake light flickering on hard right turns was answered in this thread, thanks guys. Gonna add a bit of fluid and do the quick fix. I know I need a fluid flush and pads and rotors but want to wait until spring to do that. Heck we just got almost 20" of snow yesterday so that might be a while.

My next off day will be Friday so I'm just going to drive one of my other cars until I check it out. I need to order the inner tie rods and get an alignment anyway.
