I had the problem with the brake light not going off, I looked today, could it just be that i need to bleed the system and put new brake fluid in? the fluid that is in there isnt looking all that great and i havent had a problem running out, im still a little ways above the min. line.

If the fluid is too low, it will set off the brake light.

Yes, change it if it does not look good.

I just bled each corner until clean fluid came out, adding new fluid a little at a time to the master cylinder so it didnt run out.

If you need more brake fluid, you probably also need new brake shoes or pads.

Inspect them and take appropriate corrective action.
