What is it that's squeaking? The pedal or the pads or something else?

:dunno:

could just be the petal.

my fluid is ok (not topped off, but not below level), but I'm still on factory brakes.

but there's no other noises. brakes are still A-ok

I have ABS, btw

Try listening carefully with the radio and car off (or at idle if pressure building keeps you from pushing down on the pedal far enough) to hear where it's coming from. If it's just the pedal, you're ok. You can just lube a few hinges and you'll be good to go.
