Brakes

While doing some wiring last weekend I noticed that around where the brake pedal meets the actuator that goes through the firewall it was wet. Pulled the boot back a little and about a teaspoon of fluid came out. Couldn't tell if it was brake fluid or Power steering fluid from the hydro boost. Anyways took it in and the dealer said it was the hydro boost. 4 days and $780 later I got it back with a new unit and fresh fluid throughout. I never noticed anything unusual about how it was braking. Should i have gotten any symptoms or did i catch it before it got to bad?

P.S. Sorry for the long post.

That would have probably been a leak at the input shaft seal. Input from the pedal to the HB..... There are 6 known leak points on the HB and yes they are expensive.
