Default hissing brake.

Hi Volvo folk.
I have a '97 960 wagon with 200,000 on the clock. Still runs well but there is a new development. When I apply the brake, unless I apply the full force of it there is a hissing sound like air escaping. The brake still works, it just gets hissy. Can anyone shed light on this please? The brake fluid is full.

thanks.

Most likely the brake booster is bad.
