I had my booster re-built as that was the only option I could find, I have a friend [I do really!] that was dating the manager at a metro Detroit area O'Rielly's she dealt with all of it for us, cost I remember as similar to a new one if I could have found one, also it was gone for more than a month, like 7 weeks IIRC, so not going to happen fast and that could be holding the pedal forward and leaving the Brake Lights on, if it is bad. That system will require a good flush as brake fluid is designed to absorb water and that lowers its' boiling point as well allowing that absorbed water to eventually do what water does to steel, we don't like to use that "R" word here [LOL]. I would make sure all of the hydraulic brake components are top notch before going much further with this repair as, if something else is amiss that will give up shortly thereafter and then you get to wash, rinse, repeat, ad infinitum, Definitely no Fun that way, you will likely have the time if the booster is bad and goes out for a rebuild, replace and steel lines that look questionable and consider doing all of them, I have played chase the line game before only one looks bad/is leaking but with in a month or two half the system has been replaced, today Inline Tube and Classic Tube I believe both offer them prebent and in either steel or stainless. If you know someone with a vacuum pump and gauges that you can cobble up, to test to see if it is leaking and or sticking, just another idea to check out, before sending it out for rebuild as rebuilding anything seems like a roll of the dice these days.
