Brake fluid leak stopped itself?

My 92 Nissan Sentra had developed a leak of brake fluid a few months
ago, so I had to keep adding fluid every 2 or 3 weeks.  I could see how
low it was by the marks on the little plastic "cup" where you add the
fluid ("MIN LEVEL/MAX LEVEL").
For the past several weeks the level has not decreased.  The leak
appears to have stopped.
Is this unusual?  What could have caused it to stop?  Does it indicate
another problem?

It is unusual but the bottom line is the same: get the brakes checked.
Brakes tend to be important when driving a car.

It probably means all the fluid has leaked out. None left to leak.

I have an 91 Nissan ,recently went for the mechanic since it was giving a
"Squeaking sound " while braking .Had to change the front brake pads as well
as the rortors ,also put new fluid.so iguess you shud check the brakes .

Master cylinder is probably leaking and in the warmer weather it's slowed
down. Check for signs of seapage between the master and the booster.
