Shayne,
I dont know if you have noticed, but there is a reason that the vacuum line
on the brake booster is located at the top of the booster. Your truck can
not suck the brake fluid into the engine by way of the vacuum. If it is
going anywhere, its just staying in the brake booster, or leaking down the
firewall. I would prefer to say that it is staying in the brake booster,
especially if you havent had to add more than a few ounces of fluid. The
vacuum side of the booster is sealed, so as to hold the vacuum, the only
place for the fluid to get out of the vacuum side and into the passenger
compartment is through a valve in the center of the diaphram on the booster,
and that would require several ounces of fluid to achieve that, also it
would require almost a half gallon of DOT3 fluid to fill the booster enough
for the engine to suck it back into the engine.
