Default Intermittent brake light on dash

The past couple of days the brake light will come on when I come to a stop or go around a corner. If at a stop, the light has turned off shortly after moving again. If just turning the light will stay on maybe a block or so longer and then turn off. The parking brake has been fully down in all instances.

Any ideas?

Yeah, that's what it was, but I don't understand where it went.

As your pads and rotors wear more fluid leaves the cylinder and goes into the lines. You could also have a small leak somewhere.
