Default emergency brake indicator(on dash)

I noticed today that when I make a right turn, my emergency brake indicator light flickers and then goes off when i straighten out. This only happens when turning right. Any suggestions or thoughts would be beneficial. 99 coupe, drum brakes.

Check your brake fluid level in your reservoir.

I just went and checked it and everything seems to be in order there, I put a little more in and took it for a drive around the block and the light came on. I appreciate the response though.

Any other suggestions?

Patrick, we can bleed the brakes at my house if you'd like.
Edit: This is litterbox.

If you have a buddy with the same one, try switching reservoir caps. They go out and that is often the problem.
