Probably, or leaking. Flush it, purge it and check it again

check your fluid level. if the level is low you could either A. have worn brake pads or B have a leak. if your fluid level if low take off your tires and inspect your pads.

have you noticed this problem get worse and worse within the past few days? weeks? months? if its happened day by day you probably have a leak somewhere. could have air in the system.


i would start by checking your brake fluid level. if it is low, check your brake pads and rotors, refill and bleed the system. also a good idea to flush that old fluid out and fill with clean fluid when youre bleeding it.
