Question ABS/VDC/Slip lights on. Low clutch fluid?

Hey guys,
I noticed a couple of days after i mounted my new wheels on that all three of the above lights kept coming on, and staying on. I thought maybe because of the new setup and camber it might have triggered something, but then after driving for a little bit I noticed a faint smell of almost a burning plastic. So i looked up a bunch of threads of other G's having the same lights on and I saw that it could be a number of things; low brake fluid, MAF sensor, and a couple other things. I checked the brake fluid and its in between the Max-min so Im prety sure thats not effecting it, but then when I looked at the reservoir next to the brake fluid, its below the min. Im assuming thats the clutch fluid reservoir? If so, do I just add more brake fluid? I chcked the manual and it says to add the same brake fluid to both reservoirs. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

well, clutch fluid added, but all the same lights are on, and I still get a slight burning plastic smell. Forgot to say that the service engine light went on about 2 days before the new wheels went on. Will probably just try to set something up at a dealer so they can take a look at it. Info is still welcome though!

This is why I resist adding aftermarket stuff. I love working on cars but they've gotten so bloody complicated even something as simple as new wheels can throw something off.

Good luck with this, and please let us know what the dealer says...
