Brake warning light?!

[l337m4573r]

I own a R33. A warning light has come on while i was driving, it wasn't there before. The light is the same light as when your handbrake is on. Don't worry i have tested to make sure i didn't leave the handbrake on. Anyway, when at the lights i thought: crap, whats the go with my brakes, so i gave them a few pumps to make sure it was ok and as i pumped the brakes my revs went up and down with the brake pumping and as i held the brakes it felt as though i was losing pressure as it was goin to the wall sometimes...

Can anyone help?! I'm no mechanic i'm a scientist for gods sake..

check your brake fluid level.....

Yes, check the brake fluid level.

The revs is because the brake booster is taking some air out of the induction, and the pedal problem is because you probably have a bad seal somewhere in the brake system, which is why your fluid level is low and turning on the brake warning light.

Thanks guys, had a look at my fluid level today, wasn't empty or really low but low enough for the little float thing to be hitting the bottom, so i topped it up and its sweet now.
