Fluid is “swishing” in the reservoir**. The level dips below the full sensor momentarily.

when was the last time you had your brake pads changed? mine was doing the exact same thing and it was my pads. like davidv said its the fluid moving and dipping below the sensor. most people will tell you to add some brake fluid. do this only if your pads are good. otherwise top it off. it will go away
