I'd have a good look at all connections on the brake lines, but if it was that you'd think the peddle would be sinking to the floor & pump up with a couple of brake pumps. Look at the slave next. Be careful until you find the cause of your fluid loss.
I think you're on to something there. My 02 Altima has a low brake fluid level sensor that I didn't know about. Discovered after pulling all the wheels to check brakes and couldn't find anything wrong, added fluid, BINGO.
I found the fluid is indeed a little low, but still between the arrows. Forgot to mention that I also had a bit of a problem shifting in and out of gears the day before, so my mechanic, Danny at Minicorsa, seems to think I have a leak somewhere. Not too far fetched as I did have the slave cylinder go bad once back in the day. Anyway, will have him check it out next weekend.
Not much help but mine did that one night a few years ago. I unplugged the brake light for a day or two and plugged it back in and all has been fine since...
Update: added some brake fluid and the light is not coming on. Will have to see if there is a leak somewhere since it was down a little more than I'd attribute to pad wear.
Don't honestly know. The first (oem) blew out at about 24k while the wife was doing a car control clinic and was replaced by the dealer. Even at that time my independent mechanic and the dealer expressed the same opinion that making that part out of plastic was a weak point. Now it blew out again 34k miles later. Thankfully it's a cheap enough part. Now, I'm just waiting on NHTSA to deal with that leaking PS pump I found today. At least I have a matching set on the two minis now.
