Brakes Question
Possibly a bad master brake cyclinder, if it's not leaking and bled properly. Also, you can search the internet at google or yahoo for do it yourself automotive brake troubleshooting. I did that a few months ago, and my CRX had a bad master brake cylinder. It was only like 50 bucks at Advance Auto with trade in of the old one. It's simple to change. You just need somebody to pump your peddle while you bleed them after you've installed it.

If the fluid seems to magically disappear, then it could be leaking anywhere in the lines, or most likely from the wheel cylinders. I'm also sure it could be leaking from the master cylinder. Mine had no leak at all when i had to change mine(the master cylinder). My brake pedal just went all the way to the floor, and you had to pump it to make it stop. My brake fluid looked like black water, which is probably what caused the master cyclinder to go bad.
