Default Brake booster ?

So, I'm bored and have nothing else to do, so I decided to pull the battery out and do a little checking around....I found the cruise control hose was severely pinched and deteriorating pretty bad amazes me that the cruise worked....I followed it back inside the car & pulled it out.

Upon doing so, I noticed the boot on the booster looked a little dampened. I touched it and its brake fluid. Its not dripping or wet, just looks shiney on the bottom. Do I need to replace it immediately or can I hold off for a while?

Inside the car, looking up at the brake pedal. The rod that is linked to the pedal, which pushes inward when you press the brake......theres a boot that surrounds it...the boot is a little wet.

Sounds like the master cylinder is leaking. Pull the brake master off and check to make sure it is not leaking into the booster.
