Unhappy Weird Brake PRoblem

It seems I am always having problems with myu car anyways herres what happend, I was on the freeway, This acura MDX I think, the SUV keeps pulling in front of me and hitting the brakes, He was also matching my speed, Weird, anyways, after a while of this I got to hit my brakes, and...nothing until I get to the bottom of the pedals curve and then I have brakes, so I think fade, get off the road, take a different way home, nothing has changed. However the other day I had my hood up to work on my choke handle, still nothing there, but I notice that my master cylinder is leking from between the resevoir and the cylinder itself. Is this my problem with the brakes not working until the bottom of the pedal or is there something else wrong thank you all for any help you have

If the brake master is leaking... then your problem is a leaky master cylinder. Replace it with a new one asap. I found mine at Mazdatrix. PS if you don't know already, don't drive with the leaky one.

I know, i Already ordered the new one from Mazdatrix, and I get to drive the jeep=horrible condition american car, Im working off the cost of the M/C with my parents, I could probably get em to pay for it and not have to work it off, but that would make me a spoiled, no better than the little HONDUH boy, that I kick around like a soccer ball and id rather not take free stuff, Karma will bite those who ask for something for nothing
