So I top off the damn brake fluid every 5 days b/c it seems to deplete in that time period, I took it to the mechanic and he raised the car and couldnt find a leak anywhere, well, obviously there must be a leak b/c i dont think the 'low brake fluid light' would be coming on every so often and myself having to pour in more and more brake fluid, not to mention the destroyed driveway. So, can someone tell me if the line runs inside the car somewhere, like, under the back seat or something, b/c that is what the mechanic told me could be the scenerio...so....if this is true...do i rip out the back seat and begin my investigation....any other place where this line could be leaking into the interior? does this even make scene. Input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guyS!!!

blown line, have someone pump brakes while you're listening for seeping air/dripping fluid

nope, brakes wouldnt work without any pressure... I bet cha he has a blow brake cylinder in one of the drums... happened to me, I couldnt for the life of my find the leak, until I looked inside the backs of the rims under the car after letting it sit overnight, sure enough I found a cute little puddle of brake fluid in the rim, I never saw it because when I would drive off, the liquid would slowly drain off the rim as I drove, never showing itself.

if the hole was a small pin hole the brakes would still work.. it's happen to me on many occasions..
