So I was driving the car for the first time in a week or 2, and the brakes felt a little funny. Also smell something like an "electrical fire". But no smoke or anything. All other fluids seem to be fine.
The very top right container next to the diagnostics box is low (is this brake fluid?) and My master cylinder next to that is low. My car is garage kept, so I would see obvious drips, and none are there  . Not sure what this could be, does the fluid level just go down after a while?thanks This post has been edited by slickr: Oct 14, 2010 - 1:29 PM |

Sounds like you have a stuck piston. Try jacking the car and try rotating the wheels. If they're difficult to rotate, it's most likely a stuck piston. Pull the wheels, check your pads, then pull your calipers and inspect them. You should be able to compress the piston and extend it by pressing the brake pedal.
