I had the exact same problem with my TR6. At the very least you will need
to rebuild your master cylinder. The brake fluid is leaking from your MC and
is now trying to fill up your vacuum servo (boost). Remove the MC and see if
you ned to rebuild/replace it. Remove the vacuum servo and drain all of the
brake fluid out of it, then slosh some alcohol around in it to try to get rid
of
the brake fluid remnants.
As far as whether or not your brakes could suddenly fail, it's hard to say. I
kind of doubt it. However, brake fluid isn't compatible with most kinds of
shoes! :) I ended up with brake fluid all over my shoes as well as on the
floor.
