brake pedal going all the way to floor

Car: 1991 firebird 3.1L
Problem?: when braking the pedal travels almost al the way to floor then finally brakes. Is this a pre warning before barkes go out completly?
Thanks

seems like you arent getting pressure in your brake system, maybe a leak in your brake lines? any drips?

Brake fluid is fine... even added some.(CYA)
The booster was just replaced recently. Think that when replacing, someone could of made a leak?
I can't visually check for leaks as the car is in FL being driven by family member.

ok if you cant see the car let's stop. its fluid loss or master failure. Have who ever is driving it tow it to a shop.
