Got an older 99 car. This light came on. I noticed that brake

just change out your brake pedal first and see if that fixes it

Just continue driving.
You can engine break in manual cars anyway.

You sure your parking brake isn't pushed in or pulled up slightly OP?

Parking brake isn't the issue, I've checked it. The brake is soft now (which I read is due to low fluid or pressure). Low fluid could result from leak or worn brake pads. I'm not sure about leaks, I don't see any leaks. I'm sure its related to worn pads. I don't have to tools to change it myself, so I'm looking for other routes of possible causes.

I'm wondering if temperature difference can cause fluid level drops or brake pads wearing out faster. Or maybe some water or air could've gone inside the system for some reason. Recently there was a minor flood (about a foot thick) that my car was under. Could it have taken in water from under the car?

It takes a socket, possibly an Allen wrench, and a C clamp, I'm sure you can find the tools for 20$ or less at harbor freight

Will be buying those later.

>flush/bleed brake fluid
>check brake pads and replace if needed

Those are the things I know about. What other should I check?

>>14122726

Check blinker fluid and Johnson rods you fuckin dingus.

>>14122745
So original

That's it pretty much

You will lose levels as the pads wear down. If you add more fluid just remember to remove some when the brakes are changed or the reservoir will overflow when the piston is compressed.

Just pay the $100 for a shop to bleed them if you want to go crazy, that shit is a pain in the ass to do yourself

Don't forget the drill for when you break off the bleeder valve
