1997 honda civic vbrake light came on and petal to the floor is soft. I added brake fluid and pumped the petal and still soft and to the floor then the brake fluid came out. I think it is from the front. Can it be a bad hose?

When I added the fluid it did not come out right away it was only after I put the car in reverse and then drive that it came out and it looks like it came from passenger front.

Without some input as to where the fluid is etc I really cant give a idea of what to expect as to where its leaking. I can only do so much from my end on the other side of a computer. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
