there really shouldn't be a significant amt of fluid that went into the booster if tere is i'd suggest changing the booster while your 've got the system apart

if theres a lot of fluid in the booster itself which it really shouldnt be replace the booster because brake fluid will eat the rubber diapram away. and cause the booster to not work. and if the boster is original i would replace it anyways
