Fluid winding up in the booster is a fairly common problem. Not really a
fault of the booster, it's just what happens when the seal in the MC leaks.
And since the booster is large compared to the reservoir, it's not unusual
for people to report that their brake fluid is simply "disappearing".
But usually, the errant brake fluid will start dripping onto your feet (or
carpets) before it rises high enough to get sucked into the engine. There
is a good diagram at

Showing this.
