Default brake servo vacume leak rs turbo

My escort rs turbo has a vacume leak between the servo and master cylinder. Does this mean my servo is knackered? Obviously the brakes are solid with no assistance.

Mine leaks at idle without pressing the brake. When you turn the engine off you can hear it hiss for a second or two.
