Brake Puzzle

Just replaced struts and brakes on my 87 Carrera. After bleeding system I slightly overfilled reservoir but the level dropped to full mark on it's own and then stopped. I refilled to the top of the neck three more times and the same thing happened. Checked the entire system, under the car and under the floor mats for leaks-nothing. System seems to work OK and servo passes the pedal depressed/start engine test. Can anyone tell me- where's the fluid going?

Your G50 shares the fluid with the clutch, you did block it off prior to flushing right? How does the clutch feel?

Clutch feels normal. I'm thinking the vent line must be partially obstructed, so it is taking several seconds for the level in the vent chamber to equalize when I add fluid.

disconnect the vent line and see if the behavior continues. Should be a small hose clamp at the reservoir.
