Hi, sometimes my brake pedal hisses when I depress it. It is like some air escaping slowly. What could this be? Hope it is nothing serious.

Searched a bit google and found it could be the vacuum booster. Has it got to do with this? Hose need to be replaced or something similar?

it could be the brake servo or just the pipe work letting past a bit servo is a bit of a job to change the pipe is easy to change

Mmm .. I imagine it could lead to brake failure if not checked immediately. If the brake servo needs changing .. is it expensive to replace?
