?

*aherm* anyway..
How many miles or are on your tc? (or how long have you had it?) because if your brake fluid is low you might want to have it inspected for leaks. When your fluids get low like that your first question should be "where did it go?" Fluids like that aren't supposed to just get low since the system pretty much recirculates it.

over the course of about 30,000miles the fluid will get a little low. Just check it! Its an easy fix.

brake fluid goes down because your pads are low. If I were you,check both front and rear pads to make sure you don't need new pads. Don't just top off your fluid....
