My buddy has a 2007 Cobalt coupe and the low brake fluid light came on again this is the 3rd or 4th time in maybe a year or less It's came on and there are no puddles or drops showing anywhere on the pavement.
I told him he needs to get it checked out but he's cheap and keeps adding fluid. I inspected the front pads visually through the wheels and they appear to be very meaty still. I suspect that the rear drums are original maybe they are worn to nothing by now? Vehicle has about 80k miles ish on it.
I'm also wondering is it possible to leak brake fluid where it wouldn't be seen?
The brakes do make metal sound grinding but only when wet. I don't have time to look at it but would like some input.
