If your vehicle has a vacuum brake booster the brake fluid may be entering the vacuum booster with no visibly spots on ground. To check remove rubber hose usually about 3/8"-5/8" in diameter depending on model of vehicle, look inside of hose to see if it is wet, if so the Master Cylinder needs to be replaced.
