Switch off the engine and apply the brakes repeatedly until the vacuum
is gone and the pedal really hard.
Press the brake pedal hard and keep the pressure on, then start the
engine. The brake pedal should now sink a bit and get a bit softer as
the vacuum is building up.
If there is no change in the pedal the brake booster is at fault.
However it could something very simple like the non return valve.

Price, it probably is the main connection of the pipes at the
bottom of the reservoir. Â Looking at mine when I had a leakage
problem, Im surprised it doesmt leak there all the time. Â See
if you can  find any wet areas that might give a clue where
the leak or leaks are.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
If it is the brake booster for the brake side, the fluid
mysteriously disappears with no wet spots anywhere. Â It gets
sucked into the booster and then into the engine and out the
exhaust. Â Youll get a whiff of it on startup and a little
white exhaust for a minute or so until it gets burned out the
exhaust. Â But if its both brake and clutch id guess it is the
reservoir connection which is common to both brake and clutch.<br>
