I was driving and when I began to brake to stop, I heard a clank and then the brakes went very loose and mushy. After I stopped, the brake fluid began to leak. What could the cause be and how would I go about fixing it? Thanks alot.

I believe you popped a brake line or a wheel cylinder. must be fixed . you'll have to locate the hole and repair it. depending on where its at it will probably be about 150.00 at a repair shop, not a dealer
