Its probably your master cyclinder, and/or rubber brake lines.

Its where you fill your brake fluid. Also check your brake lines

Yea either your master cylinder is bad or you have a leak some where. If you have a leak you should notice your brake fluid level getting lower as you use the brakes. If the cylinder is bad and you have no leaks your braking should get stronger as you pump the brake. It will take at least 3-4 pumps of the brake.

Dont you mean ISN'T bad? Also, if you brakes don't firm up with the car off, your booster is bad.
