Danny

Check under each wheel for signs of a leak. (brake fluid feels gritty to
the touch) If all wheels are dry, look at the master cylinder or on the
brake pedal for fluid. If there are no leaks, and the brakes pump up
after a few pumps, it may be a bad seal in the master cylinder itself.
Also check the rubber brake hoses, 1 at each front wheel and 1 by the
differential in the back.

Good Luck
