Sea foam in a brake booster vacuum line typically indicates the presence of moisture or oil contamination within the brake system. This can occur due to a failing brake booster diaphragm, which allows engine oil to enter the vacuum line, or water intrusion from external sources. It's important to address this issue promptly, as it can lead to brake performance problems and potential safety hazards. A thorough inspection and possible replacement of the brake booster may be necessary to resolve the issue.
