help, brake light on cant figure out why

ok
my father's 9-3 has been doing this thing lately (hes lending it to me for a few months), i will stop at a stop sign or red light and when i start moving again if i give it more than half of the throttle the ((BRAKE)) light comes on. when i take my foot off the throttle it turns off and the big red ! turns on for a split second and everything is back to normal. But this doesn't happen every time. sometimes (usually when the engine is cold) it will happen at as much as 1/4 of the throttle and others it wont happen at all even to full throttle. i asked a friend who is a mechanic to look at it and we couldn't get it to do it so he has been no help. things of note i suspect the head gasket may be going bad, the power steering fluid is low (the damn cap is fused to the reservoir, i don't want to force it until i have a backup in case it brakes) the brake lines have not been bled for a very long time as some of the bleeder valves have been broken off. i have yet to notice a lack braking power.
if anyone can give some insight it would be greatly appreciated
