Default Losing brake pressure on gentle pedalling.

So Ive noticed lately that my brake pedal seems to be losing pressure lately in my 95 ex. On gentle braking, easing on the pedal, the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. And this is only on warmer days. On colder days/evenings, the pedal is stiff. But I notice also when I ease on the pedal and it sinks, if I release and come down with a bit of abrupt pressure to the pedal, it does produce resistance.

Any ideas??
Help, criticism, questions are all greatly appreciated.

I there are no external leaks ( brake lines, hoses, wheel cylinders, calipers, etc.) then yes it is the master cylinder.

I kind of have the same problem, i have to push my brakes in at least once every other time when I'm stopping for it to make a good stop.

Would I have to replace the Master Cylinder?
