    Brake feedback?

    Last night when i was driving my car my brakes started to feel spongy and not as firm. Every now and then il have to pump them. The reservoir is full and im not losing any fluid so im assuming nothings leaking and nothing appears to be. So what are my options? Possible master cylinder then bleed.
    Thanks

        sounds like MC. Could be air in the line, but MC is best bet.

          Try replacing the fluid and bleeding the brakes. If this doesn't solve it, it is most likely the MC.

            I'd agree with the rest. Sounds like Master Cylinder, but could be you need to bleed brakes. Since it's cheaper to bleed brakes, try doing that first.

              It was the master cylinder. The seal was completely blowed out. The fluid was really dirty too. My new one is a reman. Anybody ever had any trouble with these?
