Yep, it looks like the hydro booster is leaking, I have never put seal in one of these, but I do know there is an accumulator that can have stored pressure so be careful of that, in the shop we would install a rebuilt unit. Here is hot to change it out:
Apply the park brake and block the wheels.
Depress brake pedal at least 10 times in order to relieve pressure in the accumulator.
Remove the master cylinder from the hydraulic booster. Refer to Master Cylinder Replacement.
Place the J 26889 over the end of the accumulator. See Special Tools and Equipment.
Install the nut on the stud.
Depress the accumulator with a C-clamp. If the accumulator does not move with moderate pressure, remove the C-clamp and depress the brake pedal ten times in order to relieve pressure in the accumulator.
Install the gasket.
Install the booster assembly.
Install the 4 booster to bulkhead nuts.
NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
Tighten: Tighten the nuts to 33 N.m (24 lb ft).
