I have a '94 Cavalier with 64,000 miles and just this weekend, the Brake lights came on, so I added Brake Fluid. Now it seems to need more Brake Fluid daily. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's wrong and what I need to do or have done? Thanks.

I did have the brakes replaced, I believe around 20,000 miles ago. I haven't checked under the car. I'll go move it right now and see if I see anything.

I'm back. Didn't see anything shiny. There were some very small (under 1/2" various dark spots, but not a pool of anything.

Chuckle. You must think I'm some sort of Jock. NOT. There is a mechanic here that works for the Equipment Division that might be able to show me where the lines are. I'm always interested in learning, and by the time I retire, maybe I'll have all the car knowledge I need.
Say, what are the words Junk Yard doing on the same line as '94 Cavalier on your site?

I just went out and talked to our resident motorheads. On my way home last night at a stop light, my brake did slip and started going to the floor and then the Brake lights came on. They figure I had better get something done right away. There's a Midas not too far from work, so I'm going to call and see if I can get the car in. They say it sounds like Master Cylinder, that if the leakage doesn't show, that it may be going to Master Cylinder. It may be a little costly, it all depends on what they find, and what they want to sell me. Chuckle. Cars...so much fun.
