  Time to pull the hose at the vacuum pump end clean it up well and suck.  
You may have a leak between the pump and the booster, at the master 
cylinder/booster joint or a hole in the diaphragm.  If the hose and 
connections 
hold then get a little soapy water and put it around the mating surface of 
the 
master cylinder and blow into the hose.  They don't go bad often but boosters 

do fail and kits haven't been offered for ANY boosters for many years.  They 
used to sell kits at auto parts stores I've been told.  Now it's get a used 
one 
or pay through the nose.  :(
