Master cylinder is toast, or possibly a leaky caliper.  Inspect around the
master, and all four calipers and see if anything looks damp with brake
fluid.
My money's on the master cylinder, which probably won't leak fluid
externally.  You could try bleeding the brakes also, but don't expect any
miracles.  I'm still betting on the m/c...

I'd second that motion.
