Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale My mechanic says I need to replace my master brake cylinder ASAP - or not drive my. My e-brake cable is broken. I am topping off brake reservoir weekly with brake fluid. He says fluid is leaking from master cylinder into booster (there is fluid coming out of it,)

Your mechanic is right. With a vehicle in such condition, it is dangerous for you and others on the road.
