really you only fixed the symptom. the problem is why is your brake fluid low. i would definitely try and figure out where it's leaking out at

yeah brake fluid doesn't just evaporate. Its leaking and you might want to find it before it's too late.

hey guys thanks for the concern...i got bored this morning started to look around where the leak might happen and i found it...it was leaking on the right side brake line...had all these fluid spill in the wheel well...so i decide to replace both side with new one and bleed the reservoir...
