Ka brake fluid warning

Hey, I've got a 2019 Ford Ka with a gasoline engine. Recently, the brake fluid warning light came on, and the brake pedal feels a bit strange. I checked the fluid level, and it's definitely low. Anyone experienced similar issues?

Hey there! I had something similar happen with my Ka a while back. Same symptoms, low brake fluid and weird pedal feedback. For me, it turned out to be worn brake pads. Worth checking those first!

Thanks! How soon after did you get the issue fixed when you saw the warning light?

I drove for a couple of days, topping up the fluid, but the light kept coming back so I didn't want to risk it. I booked it into a workshop ASAP after that. Turned out the pads were really worn and leaking fluid.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! Turns out my brakes were pretty worn too, just got them replaced today. 480€, ouch!
