Re: brakes problem
 the plastic thingie connected to the booster... one way check valve that can be tested easily... there's another quick test to see if the brake's booster is "airtight" but gotta run. local library should have a car repair manual on this vehicle by now... wait, www.autozone.com has a free repair guide online for your vehicle... GL!

Re: brakes problem
If your pedal is going to the floor, the problem is NOT to power booster. The problem is either bad internal seals within the master cylinder or an external leak in the hydraulic lines or wheel cylinders. Naturally, anytime the brake pedal travels as much as your's does, the vacuum system in the booster will make some type of vacuum noise, when the engine is running. Also, check your brake fluid level in the master and top off, especially if it is low.

Re: brakes problem
yes we checked it again today and it does have a small leak.. back by the back passenger tire where the metal line screws into the rubber line it is leaking right there, but it is leaking on the meatal line side of the connector, might have a pin hole somewhere by the flange

Re: brakes problem
Rusted out metal line then? Replace the whole line.
