Last year on the last road trip of the year, I lost my brakes. The brakes first started getting a bit soft, and then went totally. Brake light on, pedal all the way to the floor. Stopped at a Gas station, pulled cap off Master and still had fluid in there, took about half a can to fill it up. Light goes off, got brakes back and got it home. Parked it for the winter, figuring I would fix it this spring. Pulled it out a couple of weeks ago, there was a spot on the floor where you could see brake fluid must be leaking from, front passenger side. Still plenty of fluid in cylinder. If it is a line leak, wouldn't the pedal go slowly to the floor if I keep pressing on it? Could this be a master cylinder problem as well as a leaking caliper or line? I'm just wondering what you guys think offhand, I was thinking if it was a line lead the pedal would continue to go down if I keep pressing on it. I have taken it out for a short couple of cruises (couldn't help it, nice weather and brakes seem to be working ok) and the master cylinder is still almost full, so I'm not losing a lot of fluid doesn't seem like.

 

Passenger front caliper is suspect. Clean it off good especially on the bottom and press hard on the brake pedal for a while. Then go under there and check for any fluid dripping off the bottom of the front passenger caliper. If you have any fluid there, you know where the problem is.

Sounds like a bad master cylinder and a leaking right front caliper.
