The vanishing brake fluid is likely to be leaking past your master cinder seals 
and winding up inside your brake booster. If the booster seals haven&#39;t 
failed (they wl eventually) the booster will fill to the point where the fluid 
is sucked into the intake manifold through the brake booster vacuum line. Then 
when the booster seals fail fluid will drip on to your shoe (and eat the paint 
off if you are wearing sneakers).

You can buy a rebuilt booster or have it rebuilt by Brake Parts and Materials. 
It doesn&#39;t cost much and they can replace the parts that arent available to 
the general public.

Generally you are better off buying a new master cylinder. I can&#39;t get into 
why shouldn&#39;t try to rebuild it yourself here. Try to get an original OEM 
cylinder as the Asian aftermarket ones don&#39;t have a good track record. 

Best of luck
