If the same with engine off and engine running the booster is bad.
But if you popped rear line you will need to replace it and bleed brakes.

thank you for the info ,it was the booster. i replaced the rear line but bleeder screws are not moving (stripped them) .gona try the lines themselves,i can loosen rear left but not the right side. do i have to replace the cylinders if its a no go? thanks k

Depending on where and what line you replaced.
If you can crack a line between repair and rear cylinder it may bleed.
Good luck
