This is highly likely. My old volvo 264 had this illness once. I first noticed
that brake fluid was low. Filled up and then went low again in a couple of weeks.
Eventualy the car did not want to stop when I commanded it to. The booster was
identified to be failing. So I replaced it and found that there was some liquid
in it and I believe it wanted to tell me it was stuffed with brake fluid.
