Default WTF, I Have to Put New Brake Fluid Every 3 days!!! HELP...

I have to put new brake fluid in my car every 3 days, I almost got into a accident today because I was almost out of it. I noticed that there is something leaking by the front driver's side wheel under the brake resivoir (sp?) What can cause this? How long will it take to fix? What parts can be damaged? How much do these parts cost? help...

This is a common-sense question.
Check the MasterCylinder, check the booster, check the calipers, check every fitting, check your lines, check anything that has to do with your brakes.
eventually you'll find it. after you find it.. then holla-back (sorry).

most of the important stuff (mastercylinder, booster etc.) is easy to find
the only thing that is tough to spot is if one of your lines is cut.
But if you follow the lines with your eyes, or hands, youll find it.
start at your master cylinder and follow everything from there, you'll find it.
This happened to me, and turns out it was a brake-line.
good news is, most of the hardware for brakes is relatively cheap

do your best, lemme know what you find.
More than willing to help a newb.
