If you keep pressure on them when you pump them up and the pedal slowly goes to the floor, the master cylender is bad. However, please make sure there are no leaks at any of the brake lines, calipers, and wheel cylenders. If there are no leaks, turn to the master cylender, especially if it does what I described.

LEt me know if you have other questions.
