If you're losing fluid in the master cylinder, even slowly, it must be going
somewhere. I had the same slow pedal to the floor and found a tiny pinhole leak
right in the middle of the brake line running to the rear. It would take a
while to drain the master cylinder, but the time to find that out is not while
mixing it up in freeway traffic or (worse) driving down Grapevine Hill.
