If the cup is leaking you are loosing pressure but NOT
loosing fluid. What happens is the fluid just gets pushed
back into the reservoir. If you are NOT loosing fluid
then this is certainly the problem, Just rebuild the
master cylinder to fix it.
If however you are loosing fluid (have to replenish the
reservoir reqularly) then you have to find out where it is
going. If not into the booster then look at the backs of the
tyres, leaking wheel cylinders will show fluid as it is
slung off of the wheels.
