[V8] Brake pedal feel issues

[bw at UDel.Edu]

I had an issue today, after a morning of sporty driving, my pedal went to the floor! 
Luckily, I was going up a hill approaching a red light and had slowed for the light. I 
wondered ABS valves, master cylinder? My bomb light had been on. After stopping, 
yes there is no control at all, the left front brake hose area was saturated, so 
replacing the lines will be the next step. I feel very lucky.
 There is a local nut that works for AAA insurance, that regularly scratches my glass 
(and other friends, including reaching in with a diamond cutter for inside gouges. 
Hopefully, this line gave way naturally, but replacing aging rubber lines has to be a 
priority. Anyone using SS braided Winwood lines?   Bob Williams
