This is most likely the brake booster so I would recommend replacing it and that appears to come as an assembly with the master cylinder.
This means you are going to have to replace this and then bleed the brakes. So here is a guide that will help with this:

Below is the process from the manual that will give the detail as well.
Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
