Default BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAK?? PEDAL SINKING?

alright honda-tech..i THINK i might have a leak in my brake master cylinder because that **** keeps running low after a day of driving..and my pedal sinks to the floor and isnt stiff..do i need to bleed it again? btw..i just did a 5lug conversion and this happened.. so any help is appreciated because i dont wanna have to keep buying brake fluid to refill it every week or two..

i tried searching and people only have leaks that are noticable..i dont see any leaks.. so i dunno what to do if i should try bleeding it again or if i should get a new master cylinder..this is a 95 integra RS (non-abs)..

any help appreciated..thanks in advanced

Look right below the master cyl, on the booster. Look real good. I had been looking for my brake problem for a while and I swore it wasn't leaking. But it was.
It doesn't show up good on the brake booster look below it too on the cross member and firewall.

If it isn't the MC (which I think it is) Then it's possible one of the wheel cylinders might be leaking. For this look at the inner side of the tires for fluid. You might want to pull the rear drums and check them too.

I wouldn't take a chance with brake issues. Check them good!

more likely, a non-ABS MC will use two 10mm fittings. an ABS-equipped MC will use one 10mm and one 12mm fitting. these are for tha stainless steel lines. that 12mm fitting on ABS-equipped MC's are meant to go directly to tha ABS modulator. on non-ABS vehicles, they go directly to tha proportional valve.
