Slow down here! You're going way to fast. You lost me after "But not that much".
What are you suggesting? Where do you speculate the fluid is hiding or puddling up?
Thanks!

I replaced my fluid, and after some futzing with bleeding, all was well. Then, at the track in the afternoon of day 2, my spouse said the pedal went to the floor just driving to the grid. Fluid missing - what the F?
Refilled, bled (hardly a bubble), and all has been well.
Suggestion from a shop owner friend: the vacuum in the power assist reservoir sucked fluid out of the MC past a seal. The seal probably worked fine with the braking pressure against its insides, but not against the vacuum on its outsides.
Haven't pulled the MC off to see if there is a reservoir's worth of fluid in the pie tin. Ran a track day (not hard on brakes at that track) and an autocross with no issues.
So there is something else to check.
