I have a 1981 Ford Bronco, 351m, 200K. Yesterday the brake pedal began sinking in more than usual when I stopped. The truck still stopped but not like it should. Then the brake light on the dash came on. I checked the fluid reservoir and the front compartment was empty but the back was still full. How can I determine if the master needs replaced or what the problem might be?
