Hello, I've got a 2006, 2500HD, 6.0, in the pictures attached ive got brake fluid leaking from one of the main connections on/from

my master cylinder. The connection is circled in my pics. My question is, can I buy a gasket for this and stop the leaking? If not, could I make a gasket? Or is it something that needs to be replaced. Not trying to be cheap, just don't wanna replace parts that don't seem to be broken. The brakes started feeling a bit spongy/weird yesterday when driving. Thats when I noticed the leak. I'm no master mechanic but small jobs like this i usually handle myself. I replaced all of the Brake pads and rotors 1 year ago. So all of that should be in good shape, however I've never encountered this problem on any of my previous vehicles so any input is appreciated. Thanks,
Bo

Determined thats its definitely power steering fluid. Checked my reservoir and it was low, got called in to work this weekend so I won't be turning any wreches this weekend. Is my truck ok to drive like it is? As long as I keep power steering fluid in it? Or is it an accident waiting to happen? Thanks

10/4, thanks, I filled the power steering pump and got an extra bottle if I need it. My brakes did start acting funny about every 5th good press on the brake pedal. Thanks for the advice, ill get it sorted soon when I get a day off.
