If it were my car I would sumulate a panic stop. I would have the car engine running at idle, push the brake pedal as hard as if I were on a panic stop and hold it for a couple of minutes. I think there is nothing wrong with that because these components must be able to resist in any car doing panic stop.

Two things will happen.

If the pedal will sink slowly it is for two reasons:

- there is a fluid leak somewhere and it should be visible after holding pressure so long

- or the master cylinder piston seals are not holding their pressure, but fluid stays in reservoir


If fluid still disappear the only place I can see is between master cylinder and booster.
