This morning, my brake light flashed and beeped three times while driving, Manual says to check fluid. I checked fluid among other things and find nothing, any ideas???

So you checked the fluid and there was none there?

Unfortunately it is rarely in the brake system, but could be in the clutch slave (fed by the same reservoir) which means $$ to repair. I'd pull the lower cover off and look for fluid dripping from the Engine/Trans joint (assuming there is no obvious leak at any of the brakes calipers...)

cant find leak anwhere??? pulled pan and everything?

leaving no visible trace, but the reservoir would slowly empty itself. As it turned out, one of the brake lines to a caliper was not tight enough. Every time she pressed the brake pedal, some brake fluid shot out -- not enough to completely undermine her braking, but enough to gradually empty the reservoir. So you might want to check the calipers closely, with somebody else pressing the pedal.
