This is going to sound really stupid, but I have heard and done worse.
I have a 1990 Festiva L and my breaks did the same exact thing. Ate fluid like it was going out of style. I replaced parts and still only temp fix.
SO I got pissed and decided that break fluid was too darn thin and filled half with break fluid and half with Trans fluid.
All I can say is this, breaks work like a charm. No more leaks, I did make sure I bled the lines before this also, and going on 5 months with no refills, no problems, and breaks like race car :)
Can't say this is the quote "Mech" option and most of them would probably scold me dearly, but hey, I need a car that works, not bleeds fluid, money and time. :)
