Brake fluid level low Bud. Just top it up a little and check how much there is left on your pads - might be near the end of life

btw the fluid bottle is..

take the 4 bolts off the engine cover.
lift the cover off
as you look at the engine its right at the back to the left has a yellow symbol on top of it.
unscrew and fill to levels.
replace cover. make sure the screws are tight as they always come off
