Tracing a brake system lea

I've been noticing that the brake system loses fluid when the car sits. It's worse when the front is lifted. Last night I left the right side up, and this morning I'm almost totally drained of brake fluid on both sides of the canister.

Presumably whatever is leaking is affected by having the right side higher than the left. It's definitely in the brake system, because it drains well below the level of the clutch line. I don't see any visible leakage. The car doesn't seem to leak when driving, so it's presumably not in an area of the system that would be pressurized when the car is on.

Any recommendations on how/where to start to trace this down?

Edit1: Well, I apparently can't spell, and I can't edit the title... Woe is me.
