Hi, had the Check Brake Fluid message come up, went to Midas and they topped it up and 2 days later, message comes back, what could the cause be? They didn't say anything about a possible leak.

Lack of power assist due to leak or degrading hoses. I have heard that old hoses can expand ever so slightly, dropping fluid levels as well as braking power itself. If that’s the case get them changed out. Next step is catastrophic and you don’t want that.

There is a leak in the brake line somewhere if fluid is going missing. Go somewhere else besides Midas to have it checked out--a local indy shop with RR experience is a good idea and I'd avoid driving the car until you figure out the issue.

I had an issue with my FJ62 Land Cruiser that was losing fluid and the master cylinder had a bad seal and it was slowly but surely leaking fluid constantly. What mileage?

The brakes are brand new, but found out what's wrong, took it to a RR mechanic shop ironically named Rover Automotive, and they found the brake lines that run under the driver's side under that trim; are rusted bad and that's where the leak is coming from, just gotta wait a week til they get them. We know why there was noise, as the pads, rotors and rear calipers were all replaced so all good there.
