F-150 EcoBoost 2013 (Recall Break manifold)
I am running into an issue and need people who know more than me to help me out (thanks in advance)
Problem: Had the breaks fail due to recall issue known to Ford.
Took the truck in due to fog from the HVAC system into the cab. They are saying the heater core is leaking. I looked at the engine and I see smoke coming from the engine.
Question: knowing the vacuum lines filled with break fluid would this cause other downstream issues with the motor?
The 2nd Ford Dealer said this was a clear miss from the original dealer not willing to replace the booster that filled with break fluid but since it was over a year they can't do anything about it.
Thoughts? Thanks guys not trying to be difficult just trying to figure out if one would be linked with the other.

Ford Dealer Response when failure happened: we will only replace the master cylinder. Original place where I took it said the booster filled up with fluid. He sucked out a large amount of break fluid.
