Default 1990 DL 240 Wagon losing brake fluid

Hello all,

I am losing brake fluid at a miniscule rate. Nothing on the ground, and I can't see anything in the wheel area to indicate a leak, or the balancing valve (not sure of the terminology here valve between the front brakes and rear brakes). I suspect a/the caliper(s). How bad a job is it to
rebuild them or is replacement a better option?

Any wetness around the master cylinder?

No apparent leaking around the master cylinder.

OK I wanted to make sure it wasn't the back of the master cylinder leaking.
