Hehe Jim always has the best answers :D I noticed my brake fluid dribbling down the inside of the back wheel when it was leaking, and it was obvious... but not puddling-on-the-garage-floor kind of obvious. If you have the newer 2-chamber MC, you can cut the search in half by seeing which chamber you are losing it from - as the brakes are not speed dependent, you can just do this while standing still. Remove some brake fluid from the reservoir down to the divider, and then keep working the brakes and see which half goes down. If neither does, and your pedal doesn't slowly keep moving down while you have pressure on it, you probably have nothing to worry about.
