Let the truck run idle for a while and find out if it is loosing fluid when the engine is running or when the vehicle is moving and braking and such. That'll tell you if it is the booster chamber (I hope...) or a brake line. Personally, I have a hunch that one of the lines is leaking under the high pressure of braking but not under the low pressure of siting in the driveway.

And welcome to DF!
