Anyone have any idea what is causing this? Someone told me that it was low brake fluid?

Fill up the fluid then pump the brakes hard about ten times......then pump the clutch about 20 or 30 times. Then get under the car and look for leaks. It could just be that your brake pads have worn down enough to lower the brake fluid reservoir to the point that the light turns on. It could also just be that you have a leak.

Yup, check directly above the clutch pedal for the leak.Probably has the master cylinder leak like all the other SVTs
Get under the dash and check on your pedals for brake fluid. Its pretty common to have the master cylinder start leaking.
BTW-It's not just SVT's that have this issue.

The brake light on your cluster? Or the brake lights on the rear of the car?

I also notice my fluid level dropping more than normal. Is the clutch master usually the issue? I don't notice any fluid leaking around any of the wheels.

If your brake pads aren't wearing down significantly and the fluid level keeps dropping that would be the most likely source as the clutch and braking system both use the same reservoir and it pretty common on the Focus. It's still a good idea to check out the rest of the braking system just to be safe though.
How was the procedure??
my lights goes off/on a lot too, I know it's the clutch master cylinder b/c of the fluid on the pedal. For some reason it goes off/on more when it's raining outside.:dunno:
