Question serious BRAKE PROBLEMS!

hey everyone,
my brakes are actin up and were not sure whats going on.

we thought it was the master cylinder
there wernt ne leaks or anything, we tried to bleed it but that didnt happen.
the brake pad is still soft, theres no compression. When I pump it, it gains a little bit more pressure but then fades out again. the thing wont stop! what do you guys think it could be?

ive been usin my e-brake **** sucks

thanks guys!

Sounds like the internal seals of the master cylinder have failed. Just because you don't have any leaks, doesn't mean everything is still working like it should.

If you can't build brake pressure *and* you have no leaks, then you have a hydraulic failure which typically points to the MC.
