Exclamation brake problems

Went to start the car for the first time in a while... hit the brakes and foot went to the floor. The master cylinder was empty, so I filled it up and pumped the brakes several times to see where the leak is...

Foot goes to the floor relatively easily every time, with no feedback from the peddle and the fluid is not dropping. Any suggestions and/or other things to try?

Appreciate the help.

Yes, clearly there is a leak... thanks.

I was trying to figure out where it was before I bled the brakes. I didn't know if I could just fill up the cylinder and pump the brakes a few times so see where the fluid is leaking. Guess not.
