I've noticed that brake fluid level is getting lower all the time. So I've asked the mechanic and got the "pads are settling down" reply. So I topped the container but after 2-3 months, I got the 'low brake fluid light' again, so I topped it again.
So I presume that this is not normal and there is a leak somewhere.

Main break cylinder is dry as I can see. Where else can I look?

And I've noticed another interessting thing. During those 2-3 months, clutch biting point was getting lower all the time. I've noticed that because generally, I like the clutch to bite low, and I was annoyed that it was very high. And when I topped the brake fluid yesterday, after a few kms, clutch bitting point is now back to high again. I mean, it is WAY UP, almost to the high point.

How could those 2 things be related?

Thank you.
 
Just changed on, cost me about 20 quid from my local supplier (£40 from Fiat dealer).

Is located on top of gearbox. Look under front near side wheel for any leakages. Depending on engine/ model depends how much you have to strip to get to the damn thing. once you get there it's only a 10 min job to change and bleed.
