Prob: Brake pedal goes to the floor when trying to stop

Ever since I got the van the pedal would SLOWLY make it's way to the
floor if preasure was not kept on it at a stop. Yeah, yeah, I SHOULD
have fixed it long ago but I didn't. Now when I push the pedal it
rapidly falls to the floor a the while making a kind of wooshing sound
(like brake fluid being pushed through a valve) coming from the master
cylinder.There is no brake fluid leaking from anywhere that i can see.
I'm guessing that the master cylinder is in serious need of a rebuilding
but wanted to get some opinions first. Tell me what you think.


PS. I tried to use the search function but it was just taking WAY to
long (20 min and going).
