Have you checked your brake fluid?

This, there's usually a sensor in the reservoir to alert you when the fluid is low.

If the brake fluid is low make sure you take a look at your brake pads before you top it off. A leak in the brake system is unlikely unless you installed SS lines recently and something isn't fitted well.
More then likely all of the fluid is down in the caliper pots and you need pads. If you do need pads and you top off the fluid you'll be sorry when you do the brakes and compress the calipers causing the extra fluid to pour out of the reservoir. In that case you'll want to open the bleeders before compressing the caliper.

This was the same thing my co worker told me but wanted to be shure thanks for the advice . I'm going to Put on new tires and do an alignment and change plugs basically give it a tune up . Going to change the brakes and rotors too and at the same time going to bleed them and refill with new to get it over with but thanks again for the info and help
