My credo
If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
After a master cylinder leaks into the brake booster should the booster be replaced or will it be fine if left alone?

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
Replace it now or replace it later but you will replace it. I prefer to do jobs once.

I'd do it now if you're sure it leaked into it... often master cylinders leak for quite a while and you'll see the telltale rust trail where brake fluid dripped down but not necessarily into it.

If it's wet in there just replace it now. No sense doing the job twice.
