I think the key symptom is that the brake pedal sinks farther than normal. Either there is a leak in a line or a caliper, there is air in the system, or the master is leaking internally. Inspection and a fluid change should eliminate the first two. When the master goes bad usually the pedal sinks with constant pressure, i.e. sitting at a stoplight, but there are other ways they fail too.
