Nope. A bad booster will not cause a master cylinder to leak but a leaky
master cylinder will (or at least could) fill your booster with fluid. If you
are using DOT5 (silicone) then all you need do is drain the fluid out of the
booster. If you were using DOT3 or DOT4 fluid it will attack the diaghrams and
your booster will likely fail somewhere down the line.
Fix the master cylinder first.
