Default 2000 s-type brake fluid leak?

i am going through about a reservoir of fluid each week. I have gone under the car and checked all 1000 feet of brake line and hoses, checked calipes etc. I cant seem to find a leak anywhere. Is there any tips os tricks to help me find it, Its gotta be leaking somewhere. Any help is appreciated

Pull out the plastic hose from the brake booster and see if there is fluid in there. If you are loosing that much fluid, it has got to be going somewhere. Is your pedal spongy? Park the car on some paper towels. Pump the brakes many many times with engine off and engine on. See if you see wetness on the towels. Do not drive the car until you find the leak. If fluid is in booster, likely need master cylinder....and a new booster. It has to be going somewhere mate.
