What's causing this in my brakes?

I haven't driven my car anywhere yet, but I noticed today while I had it running in my drivewat that if I press the brake pedal it goes to the floor and I see bubbles inside the master reservoir. Does this mean my master is shot??

Sounds like you have air in your brake system. You need to bleed them to sqeeze the air out.

If you haven't had the brake system open recently, it may be something more serious. Air has to get in the system somewhere.

I had entirely everything out, but I thought I got all the air out when I bench bled the master and bled all of the lines.
