i'm having a hard time finding the problem on my 96 accord v6 model. when im driving and press on the brake the pedal would slowly sink to the floor, my first impression was that the m/c was out. i looked at the m/c today and it didn't look like it was leaking fluid. but the fluid is really black. or maybe there is a leak somewhere.

 

Your description of the problem is classic bad Master Cylinder.

FWIW; The master cylinder can bypass pressure internally from bad seals, and not leak externally.

 

i agree with mr yamada

 

Is there any way to fix this without replacing the Master? I'm 100% broke.

 

so its a better idea if i get a new m/c?

 

Anyone??? Anyone?????

 

you may not see any leeks form the outside of the master cylinder because it leeks into your brake booster. listen to mr. yamada. if not you may ended up spending even more $$$. if you don't want to buy new master cyliner, there is a rebuild kit you can buy. from a honda dealership or a after market part store.
