Mashed on brakes, now pedal goes to floor

[Super Sedan]

Some idiot this morning made a left turn from the oncoming direction, and I had to mash the brakes to avoid hitting him. Now the pedal goes to the floor, where I do receive some braking force still. However, there is no braking at all until the pedal is fully depressed. Clutch still works fine.

What does this sound like? Bad M/C?

Thanks

Sounds like a bad MC yup. Can you pump it up? to achieve full pedal? With the engine off.

It sounds like you may have burst a brake soft line and are now operating on one brake circuit. Check for brake fluid leaks and replace the burst line.

The pedal does pump back up when the car isn't on. Sagaris, I will check the lines and report back. Thanks.

Soft lines appear to be fine. There does seem to be some fluid leaking from the front of the diff. Are there brake lines that run above here? I can't get under my car right now to take a closer look.

There is no fluid leaking around the master cylinder that I can see, and the fluid level in the reservoir is normal.

There are (4) total soft lines in the rear, (2) which mount to the calipers , then another (2) in a retardedly difficult to get to area , here is a picture of one of them. for reference, that boxed mounting point is where the trailing arm mounts to on the rear subframe.

Looks like I will have to take this one in then. If only this happened when I was back home, I could try to get at it. Not going to happen in my apt. parking lot in 40 degree weather.

Thanks for the pics.
