Sounds like a brake booster problem. Start by checking the vacuum line and check valve.

Yes. And the hose to the left goes to the intake manifold. Check both hoses.

yeah, Brake booster sounds right as well,

It is not holding the vaccume from the engine which is main part of power brake.

I saw some parts (used) for $20s
