Safety first! The master cylinder needs replaced by the info you have supplied. Most wheel cylinder leakage will show on the inner sidewall of the tire, if it looks wet or it it is attracting road film heavily. The wheel cylinders are probably due to be either rebuilt or replaced. Also take a good look at all the brake lines, fluid buildup is easy to spot if you crawl around with light ( use a good set of jack stands when underneath jacked up vehicles). Also correct adjustment of the brakes is crucial when finished with the job.
