Lexus SC Brake Fluid Loss

I've got a 2004 Lexus SC with a gasoline engine. I've noticed the brake fluid is slowly going down, and the brake pedal feels strange. I'm thinking it's something in the braking system. It has 231773 km on it. Any ideas?

A 2004 Lexus SC is experiencing brake fluid loss and an unusual brake pedal feel, suggesting an issue within the braking system. Possible causes include leaks in the brake lines or a worn master cylinder. A thorough brake inspection is recommended to identify and address the problem, as worn brakes were identified as the cause in a similar case.

Hey, I had a similar problem on my old Saab 9-3. Low brake fluid and a weird feeling pedal. I'd start with a thorough brake inspection. Check for leaks in your brake lines and around the master cylinder.

Could you tell me more about what happened with your Saab 9-3? Did it happen slowly, and did you hear any noises when you pressed the pedal?

Yeah, it was gradual. The pedal just felt...soft. No noises, just less responsive. Turns out, my front brakes were worn down pretty bad and needed replacing. Better get it checked out by a professional.

Thanks for the advice. I checked it out, and it was worn brakes, like you said. The repair cost 480€, including parts. I appreciate the help figuring this out.
