Um... NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! If your brake fluid is low your brakes will not have the usual amount of stopping power. You need to stop driving that vehicle and refill the fluid as soon as possible.

Is it safe to drive a car with a rear cylinder leak?
No. Get it fixed as soon as possible. When you have brake fluid leaking out of your rear cylinder, you are putting lubricant on your rear brake. That is keeping that brake from working. It is also letting brake fluid drain out of the car. Your car needs brake fluid to stop the car. If you lose a lot of brake fluid, you will put your foot on the brake pedal and it will go all the way to the floor and nothing will happen. It can be dangerous when you drive down the highway at a high rate of speed and put your foot on the brake pedal and nothing happens. When you crash your car and turn it into a piece of scrap metal, you could get hurt.

Why does your car have to have brake fluid?
A car has to have brake fluid to allow for the effective operation of the brakes to stop the car. When we apply pressure to the brake pedal, brake fluid, which is largely incompressible, will transfer that pressure to the pistons that operate the in the calipers or the pistons that operate the brake shoes. Further, the fluid must be of the correct type for the system in which it is used. The continued safe operation of the brakes may be compromised by the wrong fluid.
How long will it take before your brakes fail on a Honda crv if you put engine oil in the brake reservoir?
You should not drive the car. You should get it to a repair shop and have the brake fluid changed. You are looking at this the wrong way - YOU KNOW that the breaks have the wrong fluid and that they may/will fail. If this happens and you hit/kill someone then what you will have done is tantamount to murdering them! If you own a car it is your responsibility to ensure that it is safe to drive before you start it up - in this case you know it not safe to drive!

What happens when you drive your car after putting brake fluid in your radiator?
Might depend on HOW MUCH brake fluid you put in there, but not much. The radiator holds quite a lot of mostly water, so a dash of brake fluid will quickly become very diluted. But since the radiator doesn't expect brake fluid, it'd make sense to have it flushed and refilled as soon as possible.
