A few years back I had a leak at the master cylinder that was pretty bad. But we couldn’t tell if it was leaking from the master cylinder side or the hydro boost side. Close mechanic friend suggested I replace both since there was no point in replacing one only to find the leak was coming from the other and have to do it all over again so I went ahead and did both MS and hydro post unit and it hasn’t leaked since. I’d imagine if you’re in there to replace a master cylinder if that’s what’s leaking, you may as well do the hydro boost upgrade since it all has to be part anyways.

Check all your brake lines front to back, look for any pinhole leaks- if there’s any, there will be evidence of brake fluid. If there’s a pinhole in a rusted line you’ll lose pressure slowly while holding the pedal down. It’s a good safety thing to do in the rust belt. Good to see you back in this thread @Tonyrodz !

...I was thinking of saying to pull the abs fuse to rule out the EBCM. Probably still worth a shot.

The more things you can rule out, the better chances of finding the issue.
Ever since I put in the new hub(non oem) I had messed around with the abs sensors on both sides. At the time I didn't know an aftermarket hub uses it's own sensor, and it won't take an oem sensor--so I don't have a sensor on that side--so my abs hasn't worked since.

First I heard of this, no schist?
