Hydroboost questions- pedal slowly drops at a red light

1986 k30

I have new pads, new shoes, new calipers, new hoses. No visible leaks.

Problem- stops good but when I sit at a red light the pedal slowly starts to drop to the floor. Slow leak down. I take my foot off and then it holds and then slowly drop to the floor again.

Anyone have an idea? Vacuum?
Thanks

M/C has an internal leak.

if there are no puddles under the truck, this has been my experience as well.

Its supposedly a new master that the PO installed before I purchased the truck.

I've also had the MC spitting fluid since I've had the truck. The two issues related then?

Poor bench bleeding?

the hydroboost can also leak internally.
