Default Low brake fluid

Basically I took my s2000 out for a drive last nite after about 2 weeks of sitting in the garage. I noticed right away that the clutch pedal was engaging pretty low, lower then normal so I instantly thought ok maybe the fluid was a bit low. Took it home and started to check things out, come to see that fluid was RIGHT at the min. line.

I had check the fluid maybe about a month back, and it was from what I remember it was a LITTLE past middle between min and max. I don't really drive this car much or at all maybe 40 miles if any a week.

When I saw that the fluid was that low I instantly checked the cabin where the master was connected to the clutch pedal for leaks, nothing carpet was totally dry and only thing that had leaked down from the piston looked like grayish grease and it was only a droplet, but nothing as far as the carpet being soaked from fluid. Check the actual master in the engine bay it was totally dry under it and on it. I tried to get a good look at the slave with a mirror and lights I didn't see any signs of leaking at all on the slave itself. The floor was completely bone dry, no signs of any fluid dripping or drying recently.

My questions is where could have that extra fluid have gone? Im getting the clutch and brake flushed this week just to have fresh fluid in the lines and res. and see if any debris is flushed out of the system.

Any ideas would be helpful.
