Subject:Were's all the brake fluid going??

Hi Group.

When SyncroBeast was last run, I was topping off the brake fluid reservoir
every 200 miles or so.

I don't think the clutch slave cylinder is leaking, and I don't remember
seeing fluid running down the rear brake plates or the front calipers.

Could I have lost a seal going into the Vacuum Assist??

Any way to easily inspect the most likely areas??

TIA
