if your suggesting the brakes are leaking at the wheels, i checked it, if not you gotta walk me through this.

[man]

Sounds like master cylinder to me

[Jecht]

Same problem I had with my Jetta a while back. The brakes were mushy and progressively got worse until the master brake cylinder just died one day.

OR air in the lines, bleed em, there easy.

[RISKYB]

master cylinder or blown out wheel cylinders????

[Sammich]

more than likely the master cylinder

Just another idea... not sure at all... but could the actual brake lines be worn out/too stretchy? Hose dilating due to pedal pressure?
