We all know that fluids don't compress so where is it going? Leaking past the master cylinder seals? Or finding somewhere to hide in the ABS pump?
Mine now seems fine but both my ABS pump and master cylinder have been replaced so no idea which was causing it.

If the fluid leaks past the servo seals it gets burnt in the engine. I had it happen on my SD1 3.5 v8. The smoke was quite visible and smelt very acrid.
