Brake fluid expands very little....it's one of the reasons why it's used.

However, the water it traps will expand and contract. So...if you are noticing fluid expanding, then time to bleed your brakes

edit: Also, I ran my pads quite low and the light doesn't come on because of that, its only because the fluid is low

yea alot of people are getting this and a burning rubber smell in the rear... i figured out yesterday that it a few things brake fluid stops the lights as previously mentioned but also my caliper was frozen (piston no longer compresses) in the rear drivers side so i had to replace it also it wore my pads out to almost nothing thank god my rotors are fine but hearing my shims sing was a terrible experience lol so if your having a burnt rubber smell with no issues noticeable check your calipers because when it freezes it doesnt work at all so ive been driving with 3 breaks
