brake maste cylinder 850 1994

Got an 850 no-turbo, 170,000 miles, and a problem with missing brake fluid. This started a couple weeks ago when the brake light came on. Sure enough, the master cylinder reservoir was low. Topped it off, didn't think alot about it, and went on my merry way. 'Lo and behold, the beast was thirsty again later in the week. And after feeding it (3) times, something is truly wrong. No leaks under the car, brakes all work fine. Where's the fluid going? In the booster?
If that's the case, does anybody know where, or if, I can get rebuild seals for that cylinder? Or do I just bite the bullet and get a new cylinder? Or could it be something else?
Thanks.
