I agree with Cliff on the brake master...

I have not changed the brake fluid. The only brake work I have done is replace the rear pads with some cheap Autozone pads to make it through the driving season. Over the winter I was going to swap to stainless steel lines, Hawk HPS pads, and some new rotors all the way around.

It's clearly either one or the other and I agree with Mike if the pedal arm etc is wet. I have seen two boosters fail in my life time and a loud POP was the first indication of trouble

I was thinking the same thing, but if the booster when out I would just have high pedal effort to stop.
