Uh oh red brake light

Hi everyone!

It has been a while.

Today while I was driving my red brake light was flashing so when I stopped I checked my reservoir. Guess what?? The rear part of the reservoir was empty. So I went and got some brake fluid and refilled it. When I got back home I touched all my rims to see if any of them were hot like a caliper was sticking or something and I found all of them were cool but the front passenger.

I do not have the time to check everything today plus it is raining. So where do I begin when I have time?

Rear reservoir = front brakes. One front wheel is warm. Start there Looks for signs of leaks.

That was mostly what I was asking... about the rear reservoir. My guess would be the leak is on the side that is not hot? Hopefully I will be able to check soon!
