That dribble means a leaky MBC and should be fixed immediately. It also probably means liquid in the booster.....

The dribble may or may not mean a leak into the booster. The MC has a weep hole at the base of the MC. This is to let you know the MC internal orings are leaking. The leak may or may not flow into the booster. That depends on the condition of the MC to booster seal and which oring is leaking.
I would not not bend the brake lines to change out the MC to booster seal. The MC has to move out about 1 inch to clear the booster. This amount of movement of the brake lines is a little to much. So to replace the MC you need to disconnect the line and if your doing that, you might as well flush the system. Also replace the rubber lines to the calipers as suggested while you have to bleed the fluid in the lines. Dave

Ok, I will buy the O-ring between MC and booster, and the vac pump kit, and go from there. However, I cannot find the O-ring to buy. Anybody have the part # for it?
