Default Brake problems. Help before something happens..

Civic hatch si '92. Bone stock.

Pretty much it has been swallowing brake fluid... Every week or so I have to fill up the brake fluid cause it goes to empty. If I press the brakes slow, no pressure and it goes all the way to the floor and only brakes a little bit. if I push it fast, it brakes like normal, but it feels like it has TOO much pressure.

Any ideas??

I do have rear disc brakes.

Check for something leaking like your brake lines or master cylinder.

I would say there is a leak in the brake lines under the car somewhere

park it. and hit the breaks hard and for a long time over and over. and you shall find where it's leaking when you take a look.

While the cars on? Or off? Cause I heard that if you pump the brakes while the car is off you can pop brake lines?
