Checking Brake Fluid
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap.

Look at the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be above MIN. If it is not, have your brake system checked to see if there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make sure the level is above the MIN, but not over the MAX mark.
