It seems that brake fluid is being sucked into the vacuum booster, does this indicate a bad booster or a bad master cylinder? I have replaced the MC, two wheel cylinders, the proportioning valve, and NOW the leak is worse. But I discovered where the DOT3 is going --into the booster. I had pumped a quart through while looking for a leak under the car, near the wheels, anywhere --nada. Upon beginning the second quart, I detected fluid escaping where the vacuum line goes into the booster. Pulling it, I discovered most of the first quart of fluid. Apparently it was being sucked into the engine bit by bit. I assume that either the booster or the MC is shot. Anybody BTDT? --Gary
