What is wrong with my ebrake....?

It seems odd that a new car would need brake fluid so soon. You might want to get your brakes checked for leaks, just to be on the safe side.

If the initial fluid level was a bit low, not unheard of. Pad wear varies a lot between drivers. If he is hard on brakes and had a lower initial fill, I am not surprised. The fluid may not be leaking, it may just be that the pads are heavily worn and that is where the fluid is (in the calipers).

at folks who won't just take their car to have it checked! As someone else said, the brakes are kind of important.
