losing brake fluid too fast
hey there i recently started having an issue with brake fluid, not the brakes themselves.
i went from having to put brake fluid in once a week to now just about everyday. at first i wasn't noticing any leakes and all of the hoses seem to be good, but i am now noticing when i park and the car is sitting still that is when the fluid leaks out very slowly... like drip..................drip.......drip but by the morning the brake fluid resevour is empty. the drip and leak is by the driver side close to this bar (if i need to take a pic i can)... any idea what this could be...again the brakes are fine its just if the fluid runs low on me then i have to brake to the floor in order to stop, then i just refill the fluid and the brakes are fine again....usually when i am running around all day the fluids are fine, its not until its parked that it leaks.....thanks in advance

You have an issue that need attention ASAP. You say drivers side...front or rear?
Inspect the rubber hoses as a start, again I consider this a situation that I would not drive the car until I know the issue and resolve it,

Just me but I'm going to guess it is the master cyl leaking out the back....then into the brake booster....then out of the booster to the ground.
And just me but you need to address this asap....the seal in the booster does not like to have brake fluid on it....it will break and then you have to replace the booster and the master cyl.
