well new booster in place, vacuum bleed all around with Dot4 until clear. Today I was driving home in traffic and on about my 5th emergency stop (Tampa norm) and my pedal went away again only this time I got a huge puff of smoke too. I got off at the next exit and had to pump 3 or 4 times to get any pedal. I limped into a lot and popped the hood. My brake reservior was overflowing and fluid all around was causing the smoke. I wiped everything down and used towels to get the reservior back down to the max line. The fluid was really hot. Does this seem like maybe there is water in the fluid and it is boiling and causing steam in the line? I was able to drive home normally after about 15 minutes.

Whats the trick to getting a complete fluid change? I think that is what I must need. Everything seems to work just fine cold....
