Question Brake Fluid Loss ???????

My recently purchased 93 Aerosatar 3.0 sport shorty, is losing brake fluid but none of the brake components are leaking, I had all the wheels off to check for a safety but no brake fluid was evident anywhere.
The only thing I can think of is a leaking master cylinder allowing fluid into the front of the vacuum booster. Has anyone ever run into this, or have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate the strength of these little vans.

Sure, that is a common leak spot and easy to fix.

My master cyl. leakes too. I tried to rebuild it, but the problem appeared nex year, so I will replace it by new. You are right, if master cyl. leakes, you can see no leak, engine "drinks" all the fluid.
