Air Escaping Noise From The Brake Pedal

Hi,

I noticed tonight that there is an "air escaping noise" coming from the brake pedal when the engine is running (It does this when the engine is off, which I know is perfectly normal)

When I get my head right next to the pedals, I can hear the air escaping and a little click noise..

What could be the problem?

Thanks,

Dan.
