XC90 low brake fluid

Hey, I've got a 2021 Volvo XC90 hybrid, and I've noticed the brake fluid level is low. I'm getting some strange feedback from the brake pedal too. I've checked for any visible leaks but couldn't spot anything obvious. Could worn brakes be the culprit with 135441 km on the clock?

I also own an XC90. I encountered a similar problem not too long ago. Was there any recent work done on your brakes? Have you inspected the brake lines themselves for any signs of damage?

No recent brake work, and I gave the lines a quick once-over but didn't see anything glaring. What was the resolution for your issue?

In my case, the brake pads were excessively worn, causing the fluid level to drop as the system compensated. It would be prudent to have a qualified technician perform a comprehensive brake inspection to ascertain the condition of all braking components.

Thanks for the info! I'll get it booked into the shop. Turns out the front brakes were indeed worn out, and the bill came to 480€. Appreciate the help!
