Default low brake fluid warning (again)

It can't be a common thing for me to have to top up my brake fluid every 4-5 months could it?

There must be a slow leak of some sort somewhere but a quick, visual inspection reveals nothing.

Suggestions?

How's your brake pad wear? Are you going through pads fast?

pad wear is normal (even and good) and I haven't needed to change them more often than normal

Default I get the same indicator light as when the parking brake is engage

the indicator light flashes 3 times and is accompanied by 3 beeps.

The is more noticeable when taking corners - perhaps due to the fill sensor in the fluid reservoir being set off in turns?

Default That's definitely a low fluid warning. I've had the same issue under hard cornering...

after bleeding fluid but not leaving enough in the reservoir to hit the MAX line. It's safe to top off the reservoir as a temporary "fix".
