could be anything else if it isnt the brake fluid. Handbrake switch or even low brake pads I believe for that matter.

Just the 1 replacement cylinder?
Its always a good idea to do them in pairs, if ones leaking the other wont be far behind

Id be tempted to swop the handbrake switch for the glovebox one as there has been no mention of the STOP light coming on as well.
