Brake booster system leak

The master cylinder is bolted up to a booster that is powered by the power steering pump. I have a pretty good leak coming from the bottom of the booster. There is a small bolt size hole in the bottom that is leaking, i believe power steering fluid.
My questions are, Is there a bolt missing? Is that why i have the leak. Or is that hole normal and i just have a bad seal and the fluid is dumping out. Are there rebuild kits available?
All help is appreciated. Thanks!

if you've got a leak in the brake booster then you'll probably have to replace the whole thing. i had a leak in mine too & power steering fluid was running down into the firewall. made a mess inside cab. i bought a reman from advance auto since dodge wants about $450 for theirs. i think i paid close to $200 for a cardone from Advance. you can take the old one out & replace it without having to take apart the brake lines & master cylinder.
