Loosen the two nuts that hold the master to the booster, and pull it out a couple of inches, and see if the rear is wet with brake fluid. If so, you'll need to rebuild the master, or replace it.
Also, it would be a good idea to get as much fluid out of the booster as you can. A turkey baster with a long hose attached will do the job. You can go thru the hole where the plastic vacuum check valve goes to suck the fluid out of the master. That's a LOT easier than pulling the booster out, and turning it upside down!

That why it's a mystery,one of the guys at work had a good idea. check to see if the fluid ran into the frame. I have to wait for a little warmer weather to check it. And no I did not leaving anything out ;I went to put the car in gear ,stepped on the brake and nothing.
Thanks Rick
