Your not crazy, and your not the only one, our '43 M3A1 Scout Car has the
same "Bug", but our Dodges do not. Again, same syptoms as yourself, no
puddles, etc, but it only seems to take about 6-8 months for the master to
come up dry. Haven't solved the mystery yet, hopefully someone has.

Mystery Brakes
Hi List!
Everyone in the "real world" tells me I'm nuts, but since we're all nuts on
this
list, I know I'll find someone with an answer.
My M37 and my M43B1 seem to be using a new type of evaporating brake fluid.
About every two months or so, the brake fluid disappears from the master
cylinders. This also happened in my '53 civilian Power Wagon.
All three of these Dodges have NEW master cylinders, and NEW wheel cylinders.
There
is no trace of brake fluid on the outside of the master cylinders, no puddles
underneath the trucks, and no leaking from the wheel cylinders!
I can hook up my pressure bleeder and get everything going again in about 15
minutes, but it's getting to be a real pain in the third member.
Has this happened to anyone else, or am I ready for the booby hatch?
