Well if you're not losing fluid it can't be the caliper as it would have to get past the seals and leak out.

It also rules out the brake pipe.

That leaves the master cylinder. If there is no fluid leaking from it, it can only be bypassing the seals and staying in the reservoir.

I had this problem on someone's 'brand new ' master cylinder recently and the supplier had tried to fix it and was adament it couldn't be faulty.

It WAS the seals. Bad batch plus reasembled incorrectly because they had tried so many times. to fix it!
