Yesterday I noticed the "Brake Fluid" light coming on as I drove to lunch. I knew that I was due to replace the front brakes as the pad wear light has been on for a few weeks. Parts are in hand and it was on the agenda for the weekend. So, I figured the light might be coming on just because the pads were low and the fluid ad been displaced.

When I got back to work, however, I decided I should stand on the pedal just to be sure it didn't sink or anything. A couple of hard pushes and it seemed OK, but the light didn't come on either, which didn't make sense. One more really hard and the pedal gave way, dropping a couple inches. It still seemed firm, though. Something to check on that night.

As I came out to the car at the end of the day, however, there was a nice puddle running out from under the driver's side. I looked under and there's brake fluid dripping from right under the driver's seat. Crap. I bummed a ride home and I'm going to get the car towed home today.

I assume that it's the front to rear hard brake line, but I was wondering if there's anything else in that area (clutch line? It uses the same reservoir, right?) that might be the culprit. Anyone here replace that line? Can I get it pre-bent anywhere?
