    hi from the uk when you say you put fluid into reservoir /topped it up ?? was it empty? or very low ? does the pedal go to the floor? or feel soft ? you mention no leaks ?? are you certain? when was last time prior to this did you check brake fluid? or have brakes inspected for wear to pads/shoes ? i only ask because of age of car ? please come back with more info or update and will look forward to helping you with advice and diagnosis and above all help save you $$$$$$s on garage charges ?best wishes from n/west uk

Running master low enought for brake light to come on, you might have got air into system, if that is the case you will have to bleed out the breaks. worse case, it would need a new master cyl.

1998 buick lesabre limited edition brake line diagram
As far as I know there isn't one and I've never seen one in all the repairs I've made on these cars. You have to just visually follow the actual metal brake lines from the wheels to the ABS controller and back to the master. Odds are unless you have an actual fluid leak in one of these lines that you have a different issue if you are having a brake problem.

Why rearend leaks by both wheel areas 2003 lesabre?
this is a front wheel drive car there fore there is no rear end like a rear wheel drive. the fluid leak at the wheels is probably brake wheel cylinder/caliper or brake flex hose. check brake fluid level if its down then check for brake fluid leak if not then you will have to check the rear area for some other fluid leak.

In my 98 buick lasabre all my brake fluid is gone there is a puddle in the front right sid by the tire where could this leak be coming from
It could be coming from one of several spots. It could be a damaged brake line, a loose brake bleeder valve (unlikely), or it could be that your brake pad is either badly worn or has broken free of the caliper (you would most likely hear grinding). and is allowing fluid to leak paced the caliper piston. The first one is most likely the cause if the have no other symptoms.
Hope this helps.

My 1999 buick lesabre has a dinging noise when a brake sensor
This means your master cylender is low on brake fluid , top it off with brake fluid and that should solve your problem . You should find out where the brak fluid is going .

My 1994 buick lesabre's brakes will not work. I have low brake fluid and the brake pads were just replaced. My friend said that there was brake fluid leaking from the car and that I might need a master...
if you can see a good amount of wet brake fluid between the brake master cylinder and the brake booster. and you have been adding fliud often,you could have a bad master cylinder. it has to be replaced not rebuilt. you however may have a far more common problem, a rusted through brake line.have someone pump the brake pedal, than look under the car for a brake fluid leak ,repair as needed. than bleed the brakes for a good hard brake pedal
good luck chris
