Leaky Brake Booster

Since my truck has been running, we've been trying to bleed the brakes and have been having major problems. Well come to find out, that hissing noise inside the cab that we were always too busy to investigate is the brake booster sucking air through where the pedal shaft goes into the MC. What could be wrong with it? Just a seal? Or should I replace the whole thing? It still stops fine for now, but I want to be safe. Thanks.

Yeah, there isn't really a way to rebuild them. It may work now, but eventually will probably have pedal colapsing problems. It still will have brakes, but they will be like manual ones.

Not a whole lot of people have had the problem i did when my booster failed. My motor stalled and i went into traffic instead of stopping. Luckily nobody got hurt. Im just saying get it fixed quick.
