Kuga brake fluid warning

I've got a 2010 Ford Kuga, gasoline engine, and the brake fluid warning light popped on. Pedal feels kinda weird. I checked the level, and it's definitely low. Could this be just worn brakes?

Sounds familiar! Had a similar thing happen with my old Peugeot. Do you see any fluid leaking anywhere around the wheels or under the car? Maybe check the brake lines too?

Leaking? Hmm, I didn't notice anything obvious, but I wasn't really looking closely. What happened with your Peugeot in the end?

Well, turned out a brake line had a tiny leak. I topped up the fluid a couple of times, but the light kept coming back on. Honestly, I'd get it checked out by a pro if I were you. Brakes are kinda important!

Yeah, good call. I'll book it in for a brake inspection. It was worn pads and a warped rotor, plus the fluid. Cost me 480€, but at least it's sorted!
