I have been experiencing the same issue with decreasing fluid. Do you hear any hissing of air either by the pedals or near the booster?
: : my brake fluid seems to be disappearing. i've replace the clutch master/slave/flexline after they were leaking, and now i'm still loosing fluid. the resevoir is okay and there are no apparent leaks at the brake calipers or flex lines. is there anywhere else to look? tia

: Tom,
: If you have no leaks apparant on the exterior lines/calipers etc and you have
: checked the clutch master/slave cylinder for leaks. The ONLY other place for brake
: fluid to go is in the brake booster itself. As boosters get old they will have a
: tendancy for the diaphram to get a small tear or crack. SO it might very well be slowly
: filling up the booster.
: How do the brakes feel? If you have to push fairly hard on the pedal the booster might be going.
