It could be because of normal pad wear causing the calipers to be extended more, thus holding more fluid, but I've never had that actually occur on any of my cars.
Yep, I've seen it.
If you add "a lot" of brake fluid, when you get around to replacing the pads and compress the pistons back into the calipers, the fluid will actually overflow the master cylinder ! 
OK, well maybe i'll hold off on adding any.
I doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally.
Thats why i was curious to know if the fluid level reader was inaccurate during acceleration and cornering like the gas reader.
The E-brake light never comes on during normal driving conditions, only occasionally during hard acceleration and cornering.
