Either it got siphoned or you have a leak. Thats pretty much the only options.

I suggest looking on your firewall up under your dash. I had the same problem with my 1st gen and kept adding fluid... I found it when I got in the car barefoot and put my foot on the rug. HUGE puddle of fluid under the rug.

Same problem with my truck too, but I caught it in time.

Rebuild your slave cylinder.

My fluid for weeks kept getting low and I had no leaks. I went to autozone and bought a slave cylinder rebuild kit and havent had a problem since.
