Recently started loosing fluid between the master and the booster. Is this just a simple gasket replacment? Thanks.

ORF-there should be a diaphragm between the cylinder and booster that keeps an air tight seal, that could be your problem

if it is leaking there the master cyl. is bad and if it has ran like that long enough you will need a booster too bc the brake fluid ruins the diaphram in the booster.

you can buy a master cyl. rebuild kit from lmc truck that should have what you need to fix the leak but the booster may be bad also. hope this helps.

Got a new master cylinder at the parts store for $25. Fortunatly my booster wasn't ruined from the leaky fluid and I got the system bled out and it works like new again. Thanks Bronc76 and Fordsohc46 for your input.
