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'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'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't get into why shouldn't try to rebuild it yourself here. Try to get an original OEM cylinder as the Asian aftermarket ones don't have a good track record.
Best of luck
