follow all your brake lines starting from the master cylinder. check for any wet areas by filling up your brake master cylinder with brake fluid and putting baby powder on the suspected leaking areas and watch for any caking of the powder. if nothing its most likely you master cylinder has a massive leak and is leaking around firewall. if so, replace your master cylinder.
