Every week I make it a ritual to check the fluids in my wagon. Every week I end up adding brakefluid because the master is almost empty.

Someone advised me to try puttin a stick down into the power booster hole where the vacuum hose goes to see if theres brake fluid in my booster.

Did that today and discovered brake fluid down inside my booster...What does this indicate?

Obviously a problem with my master cylinder leaking..but can anyone identify the problem specifically?

primary piston, secondary cup seal...i think, would be leaking. You need a new master, you'll likely need a new booster too because the brake fluid will tear up the rubber.

It's time for a new/rebuilt master cylinder and booster.
