Brake fluid doesn't evaporate and dissappear. It would be wise to also check for fluid leaks.

It isn't disappearing, it just gets lower in the reservoir due to pad wear, i.e. more of it is now resting in the calipers. The sensor for the low brake fluid is a little overly sensitive, even if the fluid is between the min and max marks it will get triggered during acceleration. You have to keep it topped off near the max mark.

^^ +1. jep, this is why we place towels around the reservoir when we do pad changes because the level can go over and spill out. :D

Brake fluid usually gets low because pads are wearing, are your pads okay?

An overly sensitive sensor, lol. It happens.

il just let Tom check it out I wouldn't even know how to get to the pads, I know you need to take the wheels off but then? get the brake calipers off?

For both models obviously the wheel comes off, for the sport you can inspect the pads pretty well at that point looking through the front of the caliper. To remove the pads you just have to pull the 2 snap pins on each of the pad pins and then remove the pad pins. Use a small screw driver on the end of the pin to get them started and then you can grab the end with your fingers or pliers.
