Found a small puddle under the front driver side, checked under the hood to find almost,No brake fluid, re-filled reservoir. Checked brake lines and calipers and unable to find a leek anywhere, checked front and rear brakes. Where else can I check to find what might be leeking. Thank you Margaret

Had someone check the master cylinder today and no leaks all looks good.
Keep checking the reservior and it's fine. Haven't got a clue, brake pads are slightly crystalized. Any other ideas.Thank you Margaret

I was asking if your front pads were worn out because that would make your master cylinder low.was it brake fluid on the ground you saw under your car?

Could have been some radiator fluid, but still doesn't explain where my brake fuuid went. Sorry am confused. Now the underneath is dry and no puddles. Thank you again, Margaret

Without knowing the source of the leak or inspecting the car myself there is no telling what's going on.
