E-brake light on WOT Options

[reko]

It started yesterday;

as i got off from work and was cruising around, I decided to go WOT in 2nd and 3rd gear. When i started braking at the red light, my e-brake light came on for a second or two... It did the same randomly three times during that night.

Then this morning, i went at the convenience store and after i left, when WOT in 2nd and 3rd again, and the light came on (even though i wasn't braking at all).

Interesting fact: I have a CAI and on sunday morning, i water soaked it... So i removed the lower part and i am now running with the SRI.

Any one has an idea of what it could be and how to fix it? It kind of freaks me out a bit....

Though properly, the fluid shouldn't be topped up if there are no leaks in the system. The fluid drops are your pads are worn away, as noted above -- so topping it up can give you a false idea that your brakes don't need attention via pad replacement.

this is exactly right.
if your pads are worn, dont just put in more fluid.
replace the pads.

if the pads are good, and the fluid is low, you have a leak somewhere in the lines.
