MAJOR Brake Problems

as the title says, i am having a major brake problem, they seem to go spongy after a while. there is no evidence of leaks anywhere but after about 3 days to a week there is visual signs of brake fluid not being in the resiviour (that holds it). I have blead the breaks from back lft, bk rt, frt lft frt right (in that order) twice and been very careful with how i did it.
This is of major concern to me as i have a rocket 20v and i would like to stop all the time, not just some times
please reply or email me on 4age20v@go.com
Concerned (not that i dislike going fast, it is the slowing that is concerning)

Your brake fluid must be going somewhere! Check again for leaks. Sometimes the master cylinder will leak inside the cabin, so have a good look up there.

as norbie said.. you've just got to do you typical trouble shooting.
go from your master cylinder all the way through the braking system till you find the leak.. it has to be there.
you can try pumping the brakes a lot to get some of the fluid leaking, and see if you can find where it puddles on the ground (hopefully it's on the ground, and not somewhere on your car)

Try running your fingers under the master cylinder, as it can be hard to see leaks. Also try looking at the paint under the master cylinder, and as brake fluid destroys paint
