Default Brake problem

When I got back into my car I put it in reverse and put my foot on my brakes and all the resistance went away. Now I have to put my brake to the floor for it to slow the car down. I have brake fluid in the brake fluid area.
whats going on??

May have gotten some air in the system due to a leak etc. If it s a leak, it will need to be fixed followed by a brake fluid flush.

That's exactly what I found out last night. Changed the bad break lines and flushed system. stops on a dime now!
