Your master cylinder has an internal bleed hole so oil can come back to the reservoir when it heats up and expands...you either have the booster pushrod adjusted out too much pushing on the master and covering up the hole, or it is blocked with contamination, or the pedal height is out....something like that...bottom line is that hole is blocked...
