If the rear master cylinder reservoir is the one low, you probably have a bad rear brake cylinder. The rear passenger is usually the one that blows a seal. Just pop off the rear drum and see if it has fluid all over it. It will be obvious. You can probably pick up one of those cylinders for under $20.

If thats not the case, you probably have a front line leak. I've done it my self, change the brakes and get a twist in the line, first turn rubs the line on the frame and whamo, no brakes.
