What? Do you think they are connected somehow?

Question, did you check the fluid level BEFORE you Seafoamed it? It should not have affected your brake fluid levels.

Please work on your spelling, proper English is greatly appreciated when trying to solve other people's problems.

How do you know you have air in your brake lines?

No it would not mean you have air in your clutch line as well.

We don't know where your brake fluid went, I would recommend adding more, bleeding your brakes and then driving a short distance and coming back to check for leaks.

sorry on the spelling i am disabled.. so bare with me... the po i go got the car from said the " brake block" was leaking and he needed to replace it, i said wtf is a brake block and he replied the thing that turns 2 lines into 4.. im assuming that he did not bleed all the air from the system.. i checked my fluid before i put the seafoam in, then checked it after i connected the booster back. and it was gone.. no clue why or how for that matter.. i put more in and its doing ok just curious as to where it could have gone?

If it isn't going anywhere NOW then stop sweating it. It probably just needed topping off.

Considering what you just described he must have replaced the Proportioning valve like you said. If your brake fluid level is stable you are most likely fine like grumblemarc said.

With all that being said it seems like you need to bleed your brake system. Not hard to do but typically you need a friend to help.
