If you use gear oil in a T5, start saving for a new transmission because that one isn't long for this world. If you're hearing air when you push the brake pedal, don't drive the car until you find the source of the sound. Could be a vacuum leak, could be a brake system leak. Your safest bet is to make sure the system is up to par, that there's no leaks, and that it's been bled properly. If you have a vacuum leak, that should be a pretty easy fix as long as it's not the booster itself leaking.
