Brake problem

Went to work on my gf's camaro today, been having some brake problems. When you go to press on the brakes it feels ok till you get down further, then the pedal just feels like it releases and goes to the floor.

I checked around the car for fluid leaking and didnt see any. Check the fluid level and it hadnt moved at all. Any ideas on this? not really good with brakes, can change em and thats about it

It almost sounds like the Master cylinder is bad. There may be a bad spot inside where the seals on the piston ride. They are super cheap (reman) and fairly easy to do. Just be sure to bench bleed it.
