I noticed yesterday that my brake levers (hayes nine)are pulling almost to my handlebar - They are still braking and there seems to be pad left. Could the oil need topping up? If so, does this mean I have a leak? Can I do this myself?
Many thanks

Oil levels will drop as pads wear but usually this does not cause the levers to come back to the bars as the hydraulics "self adjust"
I don't know these specific brakes but usually topping up fluid is no problem to do and can't do any harm. It could be a sticky piston or air in the system

bleeding might help, could be air in the pipes
