Is the front or back section low on fluid?
The larger section of fluid is for the front brakes and the smaller, the rear.
If you can't visually see any leaks,it must be behind your wheels.Pull them off and look.It's probably leaking at the rear brake cylinders.
Again , take the wheels off....

Well guys I found the leak, It was under one of the hold down brackets.
that's why there was still pressure to stop the truck and no light .

it must have gave when we tried to haul a load but still no light .

Tomorrow I will fix it and hope there's no more .

Well I just want to say thanks for all the input.

how did you come up with water in it? and if you got all the air out and it's still useing fluid you have a leak. it's a slow leak in the line or it's leaking out the back of master cyl. or rezz and you may look inside by break pedal and see if it's wet inside your rug or rubber what ever is covering the break pedal on floor. also fill underneath the the rezz and see if it's wet on the two rubber o'rings that mount it to the master. but you do have a leak if you have to keep adding fluid.

Hi did you not read the rest of the post ???

brake fluid is very hygroscopic, meaning that it easily attracts and absorbs water.

and there was a lot of water and air in the lines .

now all better.
