Brake fluid - slow loss. What to check?

1981 SC. 100k miles. New to us last year and as we have been sorting the car it has had common issues of a car that has been sitting like leaking fuel lines.

This summer about once a month or so I have had a spongy pedal and the reservoir is mostly empty. I fill it up and everything is fine for about a month and then it happens again.

There is no noticeable large leak. To that end what are the usual suspects I can check? Are there soft lines susceptible to leaking like the fuel lines did? Any other areas susceptible to a slow leak that would be less visible / hidden.

My plan would be to simply replace everything that is known to be problematic - which is in line with the plans for the vehicle overall - keep making it close to new over time.
