Brake fluid disappearing, please help!!!

Ok, I just replaced my wheel cylinders because I thought thats where I was losing brake fluid from. I've been riding a couple of days now and I checked the fluid again, it dropped down about 1/2" or so .

So now I know it's not coming from the rears, So I pulled each of the front wheels and checked the calipers -- no signs of any leak there. The master cylinder appears to be in fine shape as well so I'm assuming thats not it. So now I'm not sure where to look. The car loses fluid very slowly, about a 1/2" drop every 3-5 days. There are no puddles or anything under the car when I park it, no fluid on the rotors or drums, are there any other places I should be checking? I followed the lines everywhere I could see them, but I figure if the lines were leaking it would leak MUCH faster... right? Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure if this will help or not but the rubber hose that went from the underbody near the mufflers to the rear diff. was somewhat common for leaking......
