Leaking Brake Booster

Well my moms Escape started to leak where the brake pedal rod goes into the booster. So can i just replace the seal? Or do i gotta replace the whole booster?

should have to install mastercylinder only. Do not put it off if your mastercylinder is leaking the brake pedel will go to floor. A little at first then you loose your brakes all together.

No not the master cylinder.. the brake booster. If the leak got bad enough on the booster.. then all that would happen is that i wouldnt have power brakes anymore.

How much work is it to replace the master cylinder?
A couple bolts, a couple brake lines, then bleed the brakes?

Or is there more to it than that?
