There is a sound of seeping air coming from my breaks when I accelerate or press the brakes. Also, I can just crank the car and hear the same air sound. What is wrong with the car?

If you mean the brake pedal then most likely the brake booster is leaking and on this vehicle they are known to fail.

Your Brake Booster has a leak in one of the gaskets. You have to replace the brake booster.
