could be a brake hose. my line cracked on me last december and i finally got sick of refilling my brak resovoir so i replaced the line and havent had an issue since. check ur fluid levels and take a look at your wheels to see if there are any wet spots on the inside sidewall where the fluid leaked down. as long as it isnt a hard line, ull be fine. oh, and dont drive it to ard till u get it fixed (if thats the issue of course)

If you dont find a leak at any of the wheels or wheel cylinders/ brake lines... i'd start taking a look at the master cylinder. The fluid may be leaking from the master cylinder into the booster. Just a thought... Good Luck!
