Brake system fault warning

I have been experiencing an intermittent and annoying " break system fault" warning - accompanied by red warning light telling me to stop. I knew the brakes were fine and that I'd have to take it into the garage to have an electrical check or sensor replaced under warranty.
Anyway eventually I went to book the car in - helpful guy at reception said it would be the sensor in the reservoir - if the fluid drops a little it will go off. It is very sensitive he said. Needless to say I topped up the reservoir and it hasn't gone off again. Never had this in any car I've had before. My Captur is only 7 mths old.

Bought a 2013 Captur just last month to replace a 23yo Civic, so a complete 'newbie' here - thoroughly enjoying my 'new' and first ever French car and it's in brilliant condition, but last week I started experiencing exactly the same fault! Appreciate the post and it might save me a trip back to the garage.
