Default 1998 Malibu loseing brake fluid

Alright so here's the deal, a female friend of mine with two toddlers has a 98 Malibu 4 cycl and it keeps losing brake fluid. Now I grew up working on cars and heavy machinery so I know a thing or two, I've jacked the car up put it on a lift, I've followed every line, had the brakes pumped while the car was running, the key was on but car was off, and the car was off, I've hooked up a vacume pump to the res, and forced fluid through the system, I've done about everything I could think off, I've bleed the brakes and they are good for a bit but then go back to ****. I borrow her vehicle here and there to save my truck on gas so I know how her car runs rather well. but i'm not a chevy guy so I've never bought or owned one, can anyone tell me if there has been an issue like this with one you've had or someone else had or point me into the right direction? i'm latterly stumped, I've even had her park on a brand new tarp and still can't find a drip its as dry as dry can be. and yes I've checked around all fittings and re tightened everything to make sure (no air has been introduced to the lines via me working on it minus when I bled the brakes.)
