There aren't any moist areas. The reservoir is really dirty tho, could it be the cover?

Brake fluid levels should never drop. Have someone pumping your brakes a lot, mark your fluid level somewhere quiet, dry pavement would be best. Push hard, listen for a leaking/hissing sound, look for little puddles/drips, see if level drops with constant pumping (hard) of the brake pedal.

brake fluid levels will drop as pads/shoes wear out...more will get pushed into the system as material wears and you could actually trigger a low fluid warning.

minimal amount, and a slow progression. I'd hope youd check your fluid level sometime over the 40,000km brakes last

From all 4 corners brand new brakes, to all 4 corners being on the wear pads, still will only drop to low line, a tad over actually. Which still is acceptable to drive. But over the 30-60,000km a person could drive with those brakes, to never check brake fluid level ever, is poor ownership :imo. But I stand corrected, it will drop very, very slowly.
