Default Civic brake issuess

So my buddies brake pedal practically touches the floor. We first though air was in the system so we bled all of the brake and still nothing, the brakes are functional but barely. There are no leaks on any of the brake lines, my guess is the brake master cylinder or the brake booster, because when you push the pedal down it makes a pssssshhhhhh sound. Let me know what you guys think

I had a soft brake pedal once. Turns out it was a seized slider pin. No sound effects though.

Just a thought.

Sounds like the master cylinder is on its way out the door to me, either way, I wouldn't ride in his car for a while.

as long as the caliper slides are fine i would suspect a bad master cylinder or bad brake hose expanding under pressure.
