I've never used dot 4. I'll get me a new booter and maybe that will cure it.
Now let me see if I have this straight; the leaky m/c that I replaced last year
was probably what ruined the booster, if I replace the booster, the new m/c
probably won't leak. Is this the correct assumption? Thanks,
Bryan

You should not have to top up the MC once a week. I never top mine up except
maybe once a year. Where did all that fluid go? Probably into the brake
booster. Like Randall said, if you are running silicon fluid you may be
alright
after removing the booster and draining the fluid out but of you are running
DOT4 you will need a booster sooner or later. Probably more sooner than later.
Ask me how I know.
