not sure frank about cost,could be just a seal to replace,[ if seal is available -some are only supplied with servo]could need vac pipe replacing ,this usually has a one way valve in it which may be faulty, or the servo itself may need changing. the latter being the dearest! also it all depends on what make/model etc of vehicle!

cheers k, if I took it to the garage, how much 'roughly' would it cost to get fixed.

sounds like vacuum in brake servo is exhausting overnight,may be seal between brake master cylinder and servo is leaking?
