Before you start the car, you need to pump the pedal 4-5 times ... then hold your foot lightly on the pedal with a steady pressure then start the car.

If the pedal drops when the car starts, the booster is working. If it remains stationary or actually moves towards you, the booster needs replacement.

If you have fluid leaking into the booster belly you can suck it out with a turkey baster but it will still fail in time.
