I just changed the brake booster on our '03 aero. Not sure how long it was hissing, and haven't looked to see if the mileage improved since changing it (my wife drives the car), but I'm not surprised you are finally getting a CEL, as a persistent vacuum leak will create problems with various sensors (did you pull the code).
It wasn't fun as a DIY, but was doable. Only trouble I had was after heeding warning to get length of the coupling to the brake pedal correct, I had to disconnect it to get the new booster and shaft back into position, and didn't get coupling length correct (brake pedal did not extend far enough to turn off brake light so had to disassemble and lengthen the coupler a bit). Other than that, and I bit of effort to wiggle the old one out, was straightforward.
And the cabin is quieter now.
