Did this once,

1) Start engine
2) let warm up
3) pump brake pedal firmly and rapidly and continusley (~3 pumps per second)
if engine idle goes up, leak in booster

He wants to know how to test it when it's not installed.

I have my booster off the car. And when I depress the plunger, I hear ait coming out. It's not supposed to do that, right?

Also I have some kind of liquid coming out of the booster...
