So I noticed while parking the other day that my brakes went to the floor. I parked it and pumped the brakes a few times and let it sit to see if it was leaking anywhere on the ground, it was not, not that I could see. I checked the resavore and it was still full. I check on the inside of the rims and nothing. I can sit and pump the brakes and they dont stiffen up like they should. I was wondering if it could be the master cylinder or something else, air bubble, or something else? I also did not find a leak under the master what could this be? It is cold here wondering if something froze?

If you're not leaking fluid and you are sure that the pads and shoes are in good shape and properly adjusted-Replace the master cylinder this is the one that creates the hydraulic pressure before it gets to the wheels and make sure you bleed it properly.
