brake problems


ok i'm having an issue with my brakes, the pedal's going all the way to the floor, it brakes, but i don't want to come to the point that the brakes will go out, i bleed the brakes.... , brakes good for about 20 driving minutes , or if i let the car sit for about 30 minutes, the pedal's the same way as before. what are the things i need to check out?? brake lines, brake cylinder, what else??

check all the lines for leaks and check your master cylinder to see if youre losing fluid

Sounds like a master cylinder. I think if anything else was bad then you would have no brakes at all.

check your lines feeding to the front calipers and look for residue to see if the leak is there, if not its sounds like the master cyl.
