Here's the deal-  press down hard on the brakes, RMP slows to almost stall.  
It doesn't matter if I'm diving or if I'm just sitting in the garage.  I 
suspected a vacuum leak, so I checked the big hose from the intake manifold to 
the brake servo.  It was OK (I did notice a tiny amount of brake fluid on the 
servo end, so a master cylinder rebuild is needed).  I now suspect a leaky 
diaphram in the servo.  I can't find a major rebuild kit from the Big 3, so I 
guess I'll have to buy the entire servo.  It's kinda pricy!  Before I shell 
out for it, are there any suggestions of other fixes I have overlooked?

Thanks.  Kevin
