The master cylinder is the usual cause of sinking break pedal. If you can
pump the breaks up, that also points to the master cylinder.

A fellow student recently had a sinking break pedal, but his was due to a
pinhole leak in one of the flexible brake lines. That situation will
prevent pumping up much because there's no more brake fluid left.
