Question

My brake light "dummy light" comes on when it is cold and I go around corners. Do I need more brake fluid? Where did my brake fluid go?

Your brake lamp is probably coming on because your brake fluid is low. Your brake fluid is probably low because of front brake pad wear. The front brakes may not be worn out, but more than likely you may want to have the brakes inspected if they haven't been checked in the last 15,000 miles. You can add fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir which is located under the vehicle's hood on the driver's side at the bulk head. Essentially directly in front of the brake pedal but under the hood. You should also consult your owners manual which contains this information.
