a slow leak like that would probably be found at one of the wheels. maybe the rear seal of the master is leaking into the brake booster. try the simple stuff first. look under the car. the fluid is going some where. If you dont see anything, try standing on the brakes real hard for a bout 5 min then recheck to see if you see any fluid.

If you continually have to replenish the brake fluid... common sense tells you that you have a lak! Clean off the master culinder and around all the gaskets, refill the fluid and look for leaks after driving a while. No leaks? It's most likely your lines... either the hard lines or the flexible ones... try wrapping your flex lines with a paper towlels and duct tape... drive a while and see if you get the red stains on the paper towels. No stains? It's your hard lines... take it to a shop and have it fixed!

You have a leak somewhere. You need to take it in to get serviced. Problem with the hydraulics on your brakes is sometimes when you push the brake pedal down you loose fluid. But when you release the brake pedal you could suck in air. If that happens you might not have brakes when you need them the peddle will just go to the floor and you will possibly run into something.
