i should search b4 i ask
 just found this on the FFOC "As your pads wear down more fluid will be drawn into the pipes and the calipers..........low brake fluid is usually one of the first indications that your pads are getting low (because when you change your pads and push the caliper pistons back in to fit the new pads you push all the fluid back into the reservoir and top up IF NECESSARY). " Should all be fixed tommorrow as gettin new pads anyway.. But does that mean i need new rears aswell?

I got a good idea, stop ripping the handbrake around corners and sliding the back of your Focus out
