During the drive home from our January camping trip, I noticed that there was a soft "squeek" sound when I released the brake pedal. The sound appeared to be coming from the brake pedal area inside the cockpit, not outside at any of the wheels. Could this be just a lubrication issue with the linkage, or is it a message from the booster or master cylinder that they should be replaced? The brakes appear to be functioning normally.
A little background info: I replaced the rear brakes in the fall of 2016, including wheel cylinders, shoes, spring kits, lines. I replaced the front brakes in the spring of 2017, including calipers, pads, flexible lines. I've also replaced the proportioning valve. I have not replaced the booster or the master cylinder, yet. The records show that the master cylinder was replaced in July of 2009. I do not see any record of the booster being replaced. I have a '78 so reaching the nuts on the booster might be a challenge.
I did not get to look at it after the trip because we had to empty the coach and put it away. I will have it home Saturday to look into it, along with a punch list of other issues I need to work on.
Thanks for the help.

It could be a few things and i would look at this first as its the cheapest....
1- pedal pivot pin....lub it and see
2- booster to pushrod seal rubing on rod... .silicon spray and see
3- brake light switch....push with tool/finger and see
4- pedal pivot at hanger... remove pivot pin, lube and see
From here it just gets worse...like booster etc.
