Default Squeaking noise and plastic box

Hi guys me again!

I noticed my bike is making a squeaking noise when slowing down. The best way to describe it is the noise a pulley makes when turning around, that sort of squeaking. I only notice it when coming to a halt or going at slow speed. Any ideas?

Also what is the little box on the right side of the bike below the passenger seat with the min max line, I can't tell what level the fluid is at.

Cheers guys

The box is the rear brake fluid reservoir, shine a torch through it, or wiggle it out and take the lid off to look at the level.

There wheel axel it's not a moving part, so won't be squeaking.

Try a little copper grease on the back of the brake pads

Binding brakes?

It doesn't sound like the brakes when they have dust on them
