The brake booster from most of the GM cars of the same size should fit. To change it you need to unbolt the master cylander from the booster be careful not to kink brake lines disconnect vacum hose from booster unbolt booster from fire wall. Now replace in reverse order. Always be careful of the brake lines.

The brake booster has a ruptured diaphragm. Replace the booster.
It is located under the hood between the brake master cylinder and the firewall.

Your master cylinder may be leaking fluid internally past the plunger.
Have it examined when you change the booster.
