Replaced the brake pads and rotors and noticed that the brake fluid level empties over a couple weeks. Not sure where it's going because there is not fluid in my garage or in my parking spot at work which is the only place the car goes. The brakes are soft to press and I did bleed the lines when I replaced the pads/rotors. Maybe not enough?
Also, driver side rear power window is not working from the master or on it's door. Checked the fuse and its fine. All other windows work. Would this be an issue with the regulator? Thanks in advance!

check for broken wires in the door jamb, fairly common

leaking out the master and into the carpet?
01? Around here, the brake lines in the engine compartment area and front of the car are highly suspect

deleted your duplicate threads, please refrain from doing that.
did you check any of the things we mentioned here for the brakes?
to check the door wires, pull of the door panel and remove the door harness, wires will probably be broken right where they bend and flex from the door opening and closing.
you can also try applying power and ground directly to the window motor to make sure it works, most likely the wires though

I discovered that the brake fluid is leaking from the passenger side rear tire. I took the tire off and the brake drum was saturated. I ended up putting on a different set of tires and noticed by doing that, the brake fluid isn't leaking nearly as much as it was before I took that tire off. Any thoughts on this?
With the window situation, is this a common issue with the wires? Would it be a loose wire or a broken wire? Just wondering if it's something I'll need to order so I don't take the panel off just to put it back on again. Not sure if anyone knows if it'd be one over the other.

So your brake system is leaking and your good with that??????
By all means, worry more about a window that doesn’t work right, but if you must it’s 50/50 odds on broken motor or wire harness. As long as the in laws are not sitting in your back seat, I don’t see why driving with the panel off for a couple of days would matter.
