Brake help
So I got in my car today and the brake pedal went to the floor with no resistance. I checked my MC and it is pumping fluid. Does this mean I must bleed my brakes? Thanks for the help

Look inside your rims from the backside for fluid, especially the rear ones. The wheel cylinder seals are known problems on these cars.

Check your master cylinder. Might be shot, also check your vacume lines going to the unit.

Remove the wheels and look for leaks at the calipers in the front and wheel cylinders in the back. Check all brake lines from the MC to the tire they go to. If you don't see any fluid at all you should be able to pump up the brakes to build pressure. If you can't do this I'd replace the MC and brake booster (might as well replace both) and then bleed the brakes.
