Brake Diaphram leak

if the brake diaphram or brake booster was leaking it would smell like gas or exhaust in the car?

I suspect it might leak as I do not have a brake booster check valve.

I need to get one and it looks like only mazda has it for $28

your car should have a brake booster check valve built into the large vac hose going to the booster.

Bad things can happen when diaphrams break or leak.

My BPT has not had one for the 3 years it has been in as I removed the hose sometime ago.
