I put my car in an underground garage for a month then when I went back to take the car out for a ride the brake fluid was empty. Has this happened to anyone else? Also when I first baught my car it had been stored for a period of 2 months and when I went to pick it up there was no clutch fluid in the resevoir. I didn't get a chance to look under the car after taking it out so I don't know if there was brake fluid under there. :(
 
Well having no clutch fluid might be related to the master cylinder, mine runs dry every 3 days so I have to fill it up until I can get it replaced. As for the brake fluid problem, that fluid is definitly going somewhere. I don't know a damn thing about the brake system but if you have access to a lift you might be able to trace the lines back thru the system and if you find any place that is wet with the fluid theres your culprit.
 
very good chance its one of the rubber lines on the caliper, just clean it all off, then see if any fluid appears the next day. g'luck
