Brake fluid at junction to booster?

[dremu]

In swapping the brake power booster, I noticed the bad one had a bit of fluid in the bore where the master cylinder mates to the booster.

I suspect that this means the master is leaking, and the leakage is contaminating the booster. Can anyone confirm this, or conversely, can anyone tell me that a little goop in the junction won't kill the booster?

'Sokay either way, as the booster's only gotta last a few weeks /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif and it can't be any worse than the one that was on before /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif

I'd say the master was leaking into the booster. Change the master while your there, they're cheap. My .02.

yeah seals in the maseter are going, seal kits are cheap or save the troble and go for a new mc, a little fluid wont kill the booster a lot will. i had a bit in mine when i changed my mc and its still fine but too much and it will kill the diaphram /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
