Brake Fluid Leak
Short answer: A pedal that nearly hits the floor with a weekly need to re-bleed, plus a tiny leak that seems to come from the metering valve, can actually be the calipers — one member chased a phantom “leak” for years (the front disc section kept emptying and fluid appeared at the master) until rebuilding the disc calipers fixed it. Air was getting in through the caliper seals and pushing fluid back out the master, mimicking a leak there.
