ok this is really weird. i never use my e brake because it can lock up the rear brakes if you park it like that all the time but for some reson the light keeps coming on. the ebrake isnt on at all. its not up, and i can tell my brakes arent sticking when i drive.
heres the actual scenario: usually it happens when the car is still cold. my ebrake light will come on soon after i leave my house and even when my tempereature gauge is sitting in the middle for quite some time the light stays on and just goes off when it wants. sometimes im just driving and it pops on. its only done this in the past week or so. anybody know whats going on?

Add some DOT3 fluid anyway and see if the light goes away. My 240's was doing the same thing. The light would come and then go off randomly. There was some fluid in the MC tank but I put some extra in and it went away. Hopefully you don't have the same problem as me because I'm continuing to loose fluid. My cars been parked for a few weeks now with a failed clutch (I've got a new SR20 getting ready to swap in) and I've noticed a puddle under the drivers side firewall (light is back on again too). I think I've got a crack in one of the hard lines but all 4 of my jackstands and jack are over at the shop under my clip so I can't even take a look at it.

Ha ha, don't be too happy yet. It's never a good thing to be low on brake fluid. It's possible your pads are just worn enough that the fluid is being used to push the pistons in the calipers out further but I'm pretty sure with my car I've got a brake leak somewhere and it's one of the hardlines. Hopefully I'll get my jackstands and jack back from under my SR20 clip and I can see what my problem is and fix it.
