If the rear brake reg is at fault it should be leaking. Visually inspect the whole system from master cylinder to calipers including all the lines for signs of oil leaks. If you can't find any it may be the master cyl or associated seals. If not then its the servo, you can test this with engine off, pumping the pedal, within a few pumps it should go solid, and stay solid. When you start engine it should then go down.

Could be a master cylinder problem.

Also check on the face of the servo you'll have a plastic vacuum pipe leading to the engine, make sure its not leaking air.
If not sounds like the rear may have a fluid leak hth
