    Brake pedal sinks partially when applied going down a hill at slow
    speed. A pump or two will bring it back up. This has been going on for
    a few weeks. No noticible loss of fluid in brake reservoir. Could a
    faulty booster cause this?

    Car is 94 Accord wagon w/ABS brakes.

    you have air in the line

    take it to a qualified mechanic to bleed the system.
    Or read a book.

    A faulty booster will cause a hard pedal. See AZ Nomad's post.

    bad master cylinder. if the seal is worn, at low pressure, fluid can
    leak around the seal. at high pressure or when pumped, it temporarily
    seals and feels hard again. replace seals or cylinder, depending on
    parts availability for that model. booster either works or not. if
    not, the brake is so hard, you'll think you're going to break the pedal
    off trying to stop the car.
