loss of pressure in brake system
the pressure in my brakes started to feel weak so i checked my brakes to see if they were bad and ended up it wasnt, so i tryed to bleed the system to see if that was it , the brakes got stiffer for a little the went soft again , im thinking its the master cylinder but not sure, well just wanted a little of advice before i go out and but something i dont need , thanks

Does your car have ABS?
If not, and you arent leaking anywhere else, I would say its your brake booster. You can prolly find a used unit with the master attached for pretty cheap. That way you eliminate both possibilities, but I am almost certain its your power brake booster.

If I were you, I would post a WTB link in the 2nd Gen forum. there are quite a bit of ppl parting out their 2nd gens. Actualy I know a guy that lives nearby I will give him a call for you.

If the master leaks it will be right where the junction of the booster/master, (that I have seen leak). The booster will not leak, it will just not provide assisted braking if it malfunctions. I would also check the vacuum line that goes to the booster and make sure there is vacuum there when the engine is on otherwise, there is your problem.

good luck
