Where did my brake fluid go?

So i was driving on the highway with the cruise on. I get off the highway and slow down..brakes feel spongy. Hmm, i get to a stop light and they get worse. By the time i get home i have almost NO brakes. I'm using my transmission to slow down and crawl into the driveway. pop the hood and the Master reserviour is empty. It took 3/4 of a quart to fill back up.

Where did it all go? There are no leaks that i can tell of.
 
You defiantly have a leak. Follow all the line and check the rubber ones near the wheels. It went somewhere!
 
Ya, check all lines ^^^ all the way to the calipers themselves and check around them and the wheels. Could be a rusted line, a leak at a junction, or a leak at a brake cylinder.
 
a leak that significant is easy to find. it is a closed system that doesn't lose fluid by itself.
 
If it's leaking at the wheel, should be easy to find the tire that has the really ICKY inside sidewall.. or the rim that is full of black crap
