Well, I've dredged this up from the search. I have a similar problem. My brake pedal randomly gives me a sink to floor (or well below normal position, anyway) but picks up immediately upon second press. This has been happening for a few weeks now, with no obvious other symptoms. But today, on a hard left turn, we got the billows of white smoke that flag brake fluid in the intake. And the brake fluid reservoir had gone empty all of a sudden. No, I didn't watch the fluid level carefully, but I did have to top it off a month or two ago.
I see turkey baster suggestions, but don't know whether the suggestion is with booster mounted or dismounted. I don't want to let the fluid destroy the $$$ booster if it is OK. Is the wash-out a dismount, soap&shake, rinse, drain process? I've rebuilt brake and clutch MC's before, so no problem there. But I don't know how to drain the booster reliably.
