Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello i have a 2004 poniac grand am I noticed
my brake light went on then my brakes hit the
floor figured i needed to bleed them then
today i decided to put brake fluid in after
doing so the brake light went off brakes
worked fine by the end of the day brake light
was back on and the brakes started to hit the
floor again i also noticed that there is a small
puddle on the driver side and i looked under it
and saw it was dripping something could this
have to do with the brakes? ( also also if
anyway can give me any advice for brakes
squeaking please let me know)

You are leaking brake fluid and need to find the leak and fix it before you drive the car. It may be a rupture in a brake line, loose hose fitting, or some other malady - none of which are difficult to find and repair. Look for where the fluid is coming from as the place to start. If it it coming from the firewall as you said, check the hoses and fittings there first. Very hazardous to drive the car until fixed.
