Question Help with Brake Problem
When I press the brake pedal on my 89 LX 5.0 the car stops but as I hold pressure on the brake pedal the pedal sinks to the floor. I have bled the system and the fluid is clean with no bubbles. Could it be the master cylinder or something else? Thanks

Master cylinder has a leaky seal in side of it. That is unless you notice fluid someplace on the ground. If not its the master cylinder
