Brake fluid leak
Ok so 2 days ago i noticed my brakes were being mushier than usual and the brake warning light came on. I called my friend who works at a repair shop and told him about it and he said to check my brake fluid, which I've never done before. So I checked it and it was all black and pretty much empty inside the little reservoir. I filled it up with brake fluid and it seemed better, for a little while. I drove it that night then yesterday I checked again and almost half of the fluid was already gone! Then I noticed that it was leaking on my rear right wheel, so I immediately took it in to get checked. Also, they aren't open today so I haven't heard anything yet, do you guys think this could be a major problem, or something that can easily be fixed??

If you state the year of vehicle, miles, and location info it would be helpful. From your description it could be one of a number of things.
Just a note, please don't drive on public roads with "mushy" brakes.

it's a 2000 Cherokee with 138,000 and I live in Kansas, and that's why I took it in I didn't want to drive around with brakes like that.
