I was wondering what could cause a hissing sound to come from around my brake pedal when I depress it. The pedal seems to go down further than usual and my brakes are super sensiative. When i depress the petal it stops too fast. What could cause this? My brakes are not squealing and everything seems ok. Fluid levels are ok too.

Hi:
The only place the noise could be coming from would be the brake booster. Check for vacuum leaks.
