How do you vaccum test a brake booster?
To vacuum test a brake booster, first ensure the engine is off and the brake pedal is fully depressed to release any residual pressure. Next, disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster and attach a hand-held vacuum pump to the booster’s vacuum port. Apply vacuum using the pump; the gauge should hold steady pressure if the booster is functioning properly. If the vacuum drops significantly, it indicates a leak or failure in the brake booster.

Can you be able to brake with a vacuum leak in the brake booster?
If the vacuum leak is small, then yes the brake booster will still function well enough to assist the braking action. However, if the vacuum leak is very large, or if the brake booster rubber diaphragm is ruptured , then the brake booster will be inoperative and you will NOT have power assist to the brakes. It's wise to just replace the power brake booster with a new unit if there is an internal leak in it, to avoid an accident due to a loss of braking power.
