Today I was driving in town and when I went to slow down for a turn the brake pedal felt off. I tried a few more times and the pedal feels like it does after turn off the car and use up all the brake pressure. There are no leaks under the car and the fluid is serviced properly. The power steering pump has had a slight leak awhile but I keep an eye on it. To me steering feels proper with a slight weight during parking lot maneuvers. Could this be the brake master cylinder? The car will stop, fairly well even, if i press hard on the pedal.

check the power booster line going to the master cylinder.

Well I read up on power boosters and found out that the brand new vacuum leak I started hearing today is the culprit. Its the long thick vacuum tube that goes from the brake booster under the intake manifold and comes to a T splice or whatever right near the front right before the lines eventually connect to the right side of the intake manifold. It is all dried out and cracked up on the front end where it connects to the T. I have a 1987 Turbo. I found plenty of tubes on pelican parts but I'm not quite sure which one to order yet.
