            That what I ment to say master gasket is bad in-between the master nd booster or the whole shit could just be bad all together if u felt a squirt on ur leg or something DO U SEE ANY FLUID ON UR CARPET OR NE THING

              like everyone else said, your master cylinder is leaking. its located right above your pedals on the other side of the firewall and thats why u felt something leak. replace it and bleed your system and you should be good to go.
