They couldn't find the source but have experienced it on other toyota cars with the vvti system.

I just only noticed it the other day.
Seems everything is OK now.

When the engine is running the brake system is powered, when the engine is not running it is not powered and you have to use a lot of force to use the brakes to stop the car. I think this causes too much pressure and can cause an overflow.
At least this is what I thing happened after hearing the guys at the garage talk.

It just started working again.
When this happened it was really cold outside, maybe that had some influence.
