Check if the fluid is from a hose (replace) or from the caliper unit (replace it). Check that the bleed nipple is tight.

SOURCE: have a 97 sunfire put

I would replace the driver's side brake hose, they're usually under $20 at an auto parts store. (Buy a bottle of brake fluid)

As the hoses get older, they can collapse, or build up debris inside that blocks the flow of brake fluid.

SOURCE: Bad oil leak driver side front fender

There is an adapter for the oil filter with 2 lines coming out of it above the drive shaft from the transfer case to the front differential. The O ring on these will go sometimes causing loss of oil. Also check the 2 lines for leaks and cracks.

Return question on brake problem-if master cyclinder has leak at booster would that cause vacumn leak,idle problem when applying brakes

Very likely yes. There is a seal at front of booster which may fail if brake fluid soaks it. Only leaks when you apply brakes, and this will affect idle.

My brakes are almost to the floor and the emergency brake light was on intil i put fluid but it is leaking the brake fluid back out i can it leaking behind the tire the leak is on the front passanger side...

Not a sealant, but a rubber hose in the brake line going to the tire. If the hose is ruptured, and it probably is, the fluid will leak out. Take the wheel off to see. The hose will need replacing, then the brakes will need bleeding to get all air out of the lines.
