You bet, like I said, if it helps, it was from someone else and seemed to make some sense! Another possible area for fluid loss, which happened to me (but you'd likely have seen the fluid build up).

The old rubber master cap seals were in very rough shape and not sealing well. On steep hills and in heavy braking they actually leaked fluid. I replaced them and that stopped. I haven't yet replaced the masters as I'm considering longer term pedal and floorbox options/arrangements, but those are holding firm now.
