Brake pedal goes to floor, loss of brake fluid and cannot find any leak on master cylinder or on ground.

When there is no external leak and the fluid level is dropping, the best suspect is the secondary seal at the rear of the master cylinder. Unbolt the master cylinder from the power booster and pull it forward, then check to see if that area is wet and brake fluid is going into the booster. You also might find wetness inside the large vacuum hose going to the power booster.
