Molasses In The Brake Lines
Contaminated fluid can cause a delay, but not a total failure to hold.
Your problem is most likely a bad booster.

Re: Molasses In The Brake Lines
When's the last time the rubber lines were replaced at each wheel?
It's amazing how much of a difference new rubber lines can make - they stretch with age, and thus the fluid pressure expands the rubber lines instead of all the pressure going to the caliper. If you haven't ever replaced them, I highly recommend it - it's a PITA since you have to bleed the system, but it's a cheap fix.
