1993 Toyota Pickup 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

when at a stop sign or red light the pedal is high and solid but will slowly sink to the floor, almost like there is a leak in a line but I am not losing any fluid.

Without a leak and slowly going in while appled points to an internal leak in the brake master cylinder

Can this be repaired or should I look for a replacement master cylinder?

Replace it-don't go the rebuild kit way unless you can do it

Ok, I think I can do that. Another issue I have is an oil leak. After I bought the truck, I was checking it out under the hood and found what turned out to be the crank pulley bolt laying on the frame, the big one in the center. The truck just had a head job done and I assume they forgot to put it in. Dont know how it didnt fly apart. Anyway could this be the root problem of my oil leak?
