Stu,
Usually, the front gets low as the pads wear and fluid is drained from
the master cylinder into the calipers. Rear wheel cylinders don't really
hold that much fluid, so I would not think that is the case. I've never seen
the back get really low without a leak.
I have seen master cylinders leak into the booster, filling the booster
with the"vanishing" brake fluid. However, you have no booster. Is your power
steering system over-full or becoming noisy? Maybe the fluid could be
leaking into the steering system? I have not had the occasion to change a
hyrdaboost (sp?), so I am not sure if this is even possible. I think by it's
nature, the pressurized steering system would prevent this.
