Hurra! Neither Brake Booster failure nor CEL anymore, brakes precisely and the beast roars as it should be  . Took several weekends to deal with the  aftermath from winter driving (fun, but somehow regret...) .  Now washed & waxed, and happy wife for life...:drive1:Thanks once more to the folks here for the guidance.  

In turn - let me share my fix with  illustrations: 1. drill hole in old tube close to firewall to keep the substance but arrest the crack growth; 2. Pull rubber tubing (1mm wall thickness (some old Nissin brake hose seath from my motorcyle used-spares box (Typically collecting and I don't throw stuff like this away as there will be a re-use someday...)) over 1.5 in and the old spigot on the counter part ; 3. I also re-did the joint on the Tee below motor mount using a 8/12 mm ID/OD rubber tubing. To connect  this tube with the old plastic line I found some 1/2 in ID PEX tubing (Sharkbite...some residue form my last plumbing project on the house). This was a light interference fit by hand, and instantly perfectly sealed (some metal clamps maybe for safety , but I will leave it for the case the joint fails...).  That's it. After a few minutes drive around the block the BB failure msg was gone, and the CEL a further 15 miles down the road. Attaching few pix

Nice looking repair job done right there. Description of Fix and pictures, top man.
