I have had brake problems since I got the car. I have always been leaking fluid but in the past month or two its gotten a lot worse. I will empty it out in about a two weeks. I could not find any noticeable leaks anywhere, so I thought the master cylinder was leaking into the brake booster. I replaced the master cylinder, but still have the same problem. I never see any fluid, but could it be leaking from the calipers? How can I check that? I just don't know what else to check.
 
although this may take a lil bit of time itll work. put cardboard under your car and keep pumping the brakes till you get a wet mark on the cardboard once you see it you will know what area its comming from and can take it asses the situation deeper from there.

+1 for the cardboard
but i had the same problem for a while and found my calipers went south so i just got some remand ones and back to workin great... my car was sitting for like 7 months, i think some seals in the brake piston just go bad over time of not being used
