chances are you master cylinder is going out, time to replace it. also double check all brake lines and inspect your calipers. sometimes the seals in the caliper go bad as well and leak. but i'm going to lean more toward your m/c. quite easy to replace, have fun!

Agreed, swap out both ur MC and ur SC (good to change 'em at the same time)

 

If the fluid reservoir on the master cylinder is not losing any fluid, then the MC has an internal seal leak and must be replaced. If you are losing fluid, there is an external MC leak (between the MC and the booster) or a leak elsewhere in the system (lines, calipers, etc.) and you'll have to look for signs of fluid leakage.
