Default brake light stays on for several seconds

car is 1995.5 S6. Typically, the brake light stays on for several seconds after engine start, and always after first start of day. I have been told that my "bomb" is leaking, which I believe is a slang term for the brake accumulator bottle. Can someone tell me if that is likely true, and if so, what is involved in replacing it either as a DIY project, or the cost at a dealer. Also, since the car has been doing this for more than a year now with no apparent effect on braking performance, can the light be overlooked, so long as it does goes out in a reasonable time after engine start? Thanks for any advice.
