Brake master cylinder. No argument, no discussion, easy fix - just change it.

Bleed the brakes afterward.

You can get a rebuild kit, but it is generally not successful, and many 
FLAPs stores (Pep boys, Discount, etc.) have these complete cylinders in 
stock or can get them in a day. When I did my 86 5K, it was $46 with a 
lifetime guarantee at Autozone. Works fine.
