Yesterday (Sat the 15th) I was out enjoying some scenery in AZ when my brakes went to the floor while I was going down a hill. I used the transmission and the hand brake to slow me down and stop. After I stopped I checked my brake fluid and it was full. I got back in and when I pumped the brakes 3-4 times I got pressure back into the system, and it stayed until I released the brakes completely. I limped it on down the mountain and on home. Upon arriving I checked the brake fluid again and it had gone down maybe an 1/8". I have checked all the wheel calipers and I don't see any seepage. I am thinking either master cylinder or brake booster/servo. Does anyone have any suggestions? Btw.. I had a left rear caliper go out on me about 3-4 weeks ago and had the dealer in Dallas replace it. Haven't had any problems since then until yesterday.

Any input would be helpful.

happened to a friend of mine, check the vaccuum lines off of the master cylinder

Joshua,

The only vaccum line I see is going to the booster/servo. I pulled that one off and it has vaccum pressure on it.
