Question is this the master cylinder thats leaking? ford focus!

focus 1.6 automatic 1999

just found this leak guys on the brake pedal, but the pedal is not wet in fluid and the carpet is not wet either. sure its the brake master cylinder is the correct name for it?

the brake fluid was very low below minimum but not much has leaked though! ive looked at the brake servo from the outside and nothing is leaking there.

word of advise when fitting, screw the self tapping screws in the cyl off the car then remove them makes for an easy life when fitting it

suppose will need to remove the brake fluid first as its going to gush through!
so you dont need to remove the brake servo then?
