2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

Question: Where is my brake fluid leak?

Question

Visitor, 2.7L V6, Trenton, NJ, September 05, 2010, 16:28

My '07 Santa Fe started having this problem at about 40,000 miles. While I was driving, my brake light went on. I checked the fluid resivior and it was at "lowest level." I had the brake lines checked at a shop; no leak was found. I then had all pads replaced, hoping the problem would be solved. Now it's 3,000 miles past pad replacement and the light came on again. The resivoir was again at "lowest level." I'm at a loss, any ideas?

    when the pads go low, this is thereason for the light. at 3,000 miles, you may have a issue with pad wear. have your brakes checked again.
