Default Brake pedal sinks when it's hot

as soon as the temperature hits 80+ outside my brake pedal starts to sink. I'm not loosing any fluid anywhere though. If I'm coming to a stoplight or something when I'm pressing the brakes the pedal slowly goes to the floor sometimes I have to lift my foot off the pedal and press it again to get pressure. Even if I'm sitting at a stoplight holding my foot on the brake, the pedal still slowly sinks.

As stated before this only happens when it's hot outside. And I know someone is going to say it so here it is again >I'M NOT LEAKING FLUID ANYWHERE, AND THIS DOES INCLUDE INTO THE BOOSTER, MY FLUID LEVEL IS FINE<

Your master cylinder has an internal leak. Replace the master cylinder.

That's what I assumed I just don't understand why it only happens when it's hot out.

If you leave it go long enough, it will start happening all the time.
