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.

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