I was doing a job on the steering box (per Sunbeam Channel video and using Castrol SHL grease instead of the egg cup of oil left in it) and decided to check the brake fluid in the Master. Surprise, it was almost empty. I topped it up in October before storing in my garage. I read some older posts on here about possible causes. I have no fluid leak inside the car under the brake peddle. No apparent leaks at the wheels or under the car. But I have not removed the wheels yet. No leaks under the Master nor anywhere in the engine bay. I haven't checked the brake lines under the car yet. The older posts indicated probable cause of the brake booster.
The Alpine had a brake service in a shop last August.
How do I check the brake booster without taking it apart. I did notice the vacuum pipe from the booster to the intake manifold was sweaty on the outside last summer and fall, but didn't think anything of it. I still have braking function as I topped the Master up. Not that I am going to drive it like this and besides I have to put the carb back on.
Any thoughts/advice will be appreciated.
