The "Brake System" light comes on to warn you of low
pressure in the lines.
In my experience, when this light starts flickering on
and off, you've either got a bad master cylinder,
leaking brake line/hose (the rubber hoses to the front
calipers are most susceptible), or bad rear wheel
cylinder.
You mentioned that you've replace the master cylinder.
Was it new or rebuilt? I've had premature failure
from rebuilt units. And if the fluid level is staying
the same, a failed master cylinder would be a likely
culprit.
Good luck!
