What Ross said! I have no idea of the total fluid volume or capacity of the brake system but unless it was nearly dry, if you have added a pint and need more then there is a leak severe enough you should be able to see some moisture or drips somewhere. If the system was nearly dry I would expect the fluid that remained in the wheel cylinders would have turned to crap by now and the wheel cylinders could be in as bad a shape as the master. Maybe worse if a piston has corroded and become a solid mass with the cylinder.
