Your symptoms are a leaking Master Cylinder (MC). New MC is an easy job, but you need flare tubing (10mm) to turn the tubing nuts w/o damaging (open end may damage).

I suggest an OEM MC for this critical assy and to minimize potential for need to adjust brake booster/master cylinder pushrod gap. You don't want to get into that adjustment.

good luck

Pedal sinking in symptomatic of a faulty master cylinder as TexasHonda said. It could also be leaking lines, I hope for your sake that it is the master cylinder.

p.s.- Please work on your spelling and grammar, it is difficult to make out your questions.
