brakes work sometimes..
 
its an 86 sport NA.. i drive the car around nd its stops on a dime, but wen i stop completly, sometimes, it seems to lose pressure nd the pedal just drops to the floor.. nd my car rolls, so i have to use the ebrake.. it doesnt do it all tha time tho.. the brake fluid is new nd i bled the brakes myself, not pushing the pedal down more than half way to bleed it because i heard it was bad to push the brakes down completly.. i think its the brake master cylinder.. can anyone please help?

if your not losing fluid, then it's your master cylinder.

yeah sounds like the master cylander is going out. id replace that soon, as if it fails when you need the brakes u might have an acident!

It sounds like the brake master...

Just to confirm, does the fluid level go down on the reservior???
If not, it's most likely the internal seal on the brake master...
