Question Low clutch pedal - Loss of brakes

During driving the brake pedal went all the down to the floor. This happened a couple of times. In between the brakes were functioning normal. At the same time I also noticed that the clutch pedal was low, maybe 2inch of travel. Tried to pull it out to see if it was just "hanging" but that was not the case.

Anyone experienced the same? What could cause this? Master Cylinder?

I'd guess you have a leak at or near the reservoir if losing brake and clutch.

Find out where you are losing brake fluid and get it fixed before driving!

I'll take a stab at the brake master is going; and things need to be fixed before any additional driving.
You can bleed the brake system and clutch slave but if it's the brake master going, you'll just get more air into the system.
