Now I just gotta find where the leak is.

There may not be a leak. Sometimes the light can be an indication that your brake pads need to be changed. Over the life of the pads as they wear, more fluid is retained in the calipers because the pistons are extending and that causes the fluid level to drop.

I agree with that 100%, the reason I thought there might be a leak was that the level had never gone down that far before. And I only changed my brake pads a couple of months ago. I guess if the fluid level stays where it is for a long time then there is no leak!

I think I found a spot where there is a leak. (Right rear brake pictured)
