Brake Fluid Leak

Was under the dash yesterday and noticed that the master cylinder is leaking. Looks like just a few drips of fluid. Since the master cylinder is part of the Hydo-boost....does the hydro boost get replaced as well.
Has anyone replaced their master cylinder and had any problems with removal or installation?

There is a plug that is a recall for the brake master cylinder from ford. They replace a plug and wire in a new switch with fuse attached. If it is the recall item then it might fix it.

The 'recall' is only a cheater wire with a fuse in it. Does not fix the leak problem, only blows the fuse faster if there is a leak problem..

I've got the recall installed and I have no blown fuses.
Thanks for your suggestions.
