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?

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.
