Anyone know where else i should check?

Is there anywhere i can go to get upgraded lines cos they are still oem and im guess the rubber on the ends have maybe worn out?

You'd think there would be wet spot somewhere around the wheels or even under the carpet, check the line seving the rears, keep looking Costa it has to be going somewhere
Any brake place can re make your lines and Muller has new wheel cylinders (German ones) if they are stuffed

take out your drivers carpet(or mat )and check the steel brake line that runs from front to rear
they get pinholes near the s bend past the pedals

Costa. pull up your rubber mats. look for moisture. jack her up and look at the front and rear lines, the rubber ones. there us 4..... 2 front 2 rear (obviously) feel them for moisture, bend em and look for cracks. check the hard lines and where they go into the drum backings.

if that all fails........ get your mech to pull the drums off and check the wheel cylinders.
