Refill if necessary with DOT 3 brake fluid.
IF it's real empty the system may need to be bled to restore proper operation.
Then find where it leaked out at and fix it.

I didn't have a inspection done before I bought it. How do you check the fluid. I'm going to Mr lube today to have the filters changed and fluids topped up, as well as a quick look around
