Yup, the booster was ruined.

So I ordered a remanufactured booster from RockAuto.com for $160 shipped (Cardone brand). Was delivered in 1 day! And I ordered a vacuum pump from eEuroparts.com for $182 shipped (special order took 10 days). I installed the pump and booster last night and it is all back working perfectly. No more dragging brakes, pedal returns completely.
The vacuum pump was full of oil too. I noticed this when I removed it and proceeded to dump oil all over the radiator, fan, grill and bumper!
So thank you! for setting me on the solution. I was going to go after the MC first. Looks like my MC is fine and the fact that the booster finally failed was probably from pumping the pedal to reset the caliper pistons during my brake change.
I hope this thread helps others with the same problem.
Sincerely,
Sandor
