If you are losing brake fluid then there is a serious issue somewhere. It doesn't get "used up".

if you dont see any visable leaks on or around the lines or near the wheel cylinders then it most likly is your master cylinder leaking into the brake booster and may be leaking into you engine through the vaccum lines. have you noticed the car running any differently?

What the hell is brake oil? You smell burning oil? What's going on here?

Does your car have rear drum brakes? If so, I bet your wheel cylinders took a ****.

It's not rocket science, if you are losing fluid, it's going somewhere. Find it.

what happens when you unplug the vacuum hose to the booster? does it run better or worse? is the smell still there?

I say just pump the crap out of them while it's parked. After a minute of pumping hop out and crawl underneath. If it's leaking you'll see a puddle somewhere. After you find the puddle...look up.
