If its the big red STOP and hydraulic warning light then I should say check and top up your LHM reservoir.
If it's a bit low then acceleration, braking and cornering can make the fluid slosh around and set off the low level warning.

yes you are right there must be a leak somewhere. Seems weird how for months not needed to top it up or looked ok when i checked it . Then all of a sudden lost a lot. But i cant see any leaks or anything.

It's not low engine oil pressure, is it?
