Some of those older Toyotas have an oring seal between the brake booster and the master cylinder. Sometimes it’s on the pushrod assembly, and a rusty pushrod can ruin it.
I would separate the master cylinder and brake booster and check/replace any seals between the two, and clean any surfaces those seals go against.
