Where's my brake fluid going?
My rear mas. cyl. resivor (for front brakes) has been running low latley. When it sits for a night I come out and the thing is almost dry. There is no visalbe leaking, could it be sucking it into the booster? If so what do I do? There's nothing quite like slamming on your brakes, hitting the floor, and not stopping. I need help fast... 
EDIT: I just found a leak under the master cyl. dripping down the booster. It there a seal here that may have gone bad? What's needed to fix this, the master cyl. is new (two months)

Sound's like the rear seal in the master cyl. is bad. see if you have any kind of warranty where you bought the master cyl. because you will need a new one. best of luck, Tom

How hard is the rear seal to replace? How about the whole M.Cyl.? I'm going through brake fluid like water!
