Default 90 Accord Brake issue

As I was driving my accord today, I came to a stop light and my brake pedal slowly pushed to the floor. The brakes were still holding at a stop. The next two stop lights it did the same thing. The 4th stop light the brakes felt back to normal. When I got home I checked under the car to see if I had brake fluid running out of a wheel somewhere, but everything was dry. I did add about 2 ounces of fluid to the reservoir, but it was pretty full. Is my master cylinder dying on me?

thanks for the help.

That's classic behavior for a bad master cylinder. Maybe buy yourself a little time by bleeding the brakes, but that won't really fix it.
