Brake peddle bleeding

Noticed while hooking up fog light, that the cylinder the that protrudes through the firewall for the brake, is wet with tran fluid. Hadn't dug into it, but anyone offhand know what I'll be getting into/replacing...

My hydra boost was leaking so I replaced it. It wasn't bad but I keep seeing ATF on the ground. It was hard to trace.

Thanks Chet... Looked into rockauto and it looks like a "unit" of some shirt that needs replacing. Nothings showing up on the ground nor wet in the cab, but not digging what I found

There was a weep hole on the hydra boost on mine and it dripped in the wire harness for a while then down where you wouldn't expect to see it. Was hard to find. Mine never leaked inside either. Just saying what I found on mine. I had know other problems with it either.
