Brake Fluid Low

What about "Pops"

If I wasn't so old I'd knock you down a couple of notches! Where's my walker anyway?

So any update on the car?

No, I haven't had the time to look at it. I'll probably get at it this weekend. I'll post what I find. Thanks.

I jacked it up today, but didn't see anything suspicious. I think I'll wait until April to inspect the brakes (when I take off the winter tires).

Check the clutch master cylinder, it's directly above the clutch pedal.

If it's leaking it's going to cause premature clutch wear.

I'm too lazy to go through and read what others have posted but my foci had a similar problem, check the rear drums, I'll be willing to bet that the wheel cylinder is leaking in one of them. watch for wet spots under your rear wheels when the car has been parked for at least a few hours.

I have an SVTF, so the rear brakes are disk brakes. They look fine. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

While I didn't check the clutch hydraulic cylinder, apparently it is leaking, cause the rubber portion of my clutch pedal cover has turned to mush and has fallen off. So, the brake fluid leak must have been from the clutch hydraulic cylinder. Steve was right (again) !

i was un aware that the brake and clutch masters share the same reservoir god thats good to know for the future...

based on other suggestions I recommend you check the headlight fluid.

On a serious note, like Steve said, check under your clutch pedal for leakage. I had a leak there which would end up causing me to need to bleed my transmission every 5-6 days (as LouisZerr will attest to from making him always help me)
