ABS system can leak too...check ABS "distibutor" (where the lines go in and out...you know the part I'm talking about) for leaks...if none outside, could be internal leak. seals worn out , etc. Don't rule out other leaks, recheck ALL components, front to back... cylinders, calipers, lines, everything. I have seen new/rebuilt master cylinders have bad internal seal, rare but does happen. Try different mechanic for second opinion. Kind of like going to more than doctor for diagnosis on serious stuff or potential surgery.
