Just because the fluid level is low doesn't mean there is a leak

If your brake pads and shoes are worn down to the minimum your fluid level
will be on min.
Nowhere in your post do you say how your pads or shoes are

With your rear shoes down to minimum and a sloppy adjuster your pedal will
go to the floor

Isn't it time you have somebody have a look at it who knows what he/she's
doing

After all , THERE YOUR BRAKES
