Default '03 Suburban brake issues

'03 Suburban (109k miles)....ABS,Stability Disabled lights on, brake pedal goes to floor when running (not so much when off)....looked EVERYWHERE for leaks but cannot find any(?!)....fluid in master cylinder drops to minimum level, even when pouring in new! Had rear brakes done in 2016 but not fronts (they need it bad)...where is fluid going?? That much into front caliper pistons(if worn down that badly)? Need a clue...😖

Welcome to the forum.
Geo1 has an idea which would lead one to think the rear seal on the master cylinder is leaking in the fluids going into the brake booster. Or does it have the hydroboost system?

No hydro booster ,just the regular power brake booster...no immediate signs of leakage there (externally)
