Hissing from brake booster

I have a 71 k15 that while running has a hiss from the brake booster? unless my foot is on the brake pedal. Brake pedal pressure seems fine. Is this something that I should be concerned with or perhaps the start of a problem?
Any advice on what I should check?

Change the booster, cracked diaphram. Will lean out the engine and eventually fail
