Where do I check the break fluid? Is it in that reservour on the master cylinder with the little wire holding down the cap? How do I know how full it is supposed to be? Sorry Im so dumb guys. Thanks for the help.

yes its on the master cyl.
Just make sure its full and the cap still shuts

If it was really low you have a leak somewhere and need to find out where its from.

I would check the wheel cyls if it is low to see if one has a leak.

Don't drip any brake fluid on your paint. It eats paint for lunch.
