Default 740 GLE Brake pedal returns slowly

I have a 1988 Volvo 740 GLE with a brake problem again (I posted a different brake problem in May of 2006). The brake pedal is very slow to return and the brake lights stay on for a while after hitting the brakes. I think this is signs that the power brake booster is shot but would appreciate some other opinions.

Thanks,
Frodo

Make sure where the brake pedel piviots is nice and clean, spray some wd40 or put some grease on it. check all the vaccume lines goin to the booster.

Thanks Ted! I have been sick and was unable to work on the car so I didn't bother to check back until now. I will try your suggestion.
