If the fluid is not leaking anywhere then you could have a bad master cylinder that is leaking internally. Other Problems that could cause this: 1. Brake shoe in rear brake assembly has come out of place and is allowing the wheel cylinder to keep expanding (just happened to a customer last week). 2. Brake hoses are bad and are ballooning. I have all of these parts (with pictures for easy identification) on my website (see url below).
