broke brakes

I was driving on a highway for over an hour and when I went for my exit I had no brakes !!! (almost rolled). In day to day driving I'm having some brake drag, but under hard acceleration the brake pedal actually goes up!

I'm thinking I need a new power booster. Let me know if I'm on the right track

Sounds like you might have a vacuum leak associated with the booster, yes. However, even if the booster completely fails the brakes should still function. They would just be a LOT harder to engage.

I'm sure I have more vacuum leaks than a hoover hit with a shotgun
