Anyone have suggestions for me re a new problem I noticed Friday...my brake 
pedal periodically goes all the way to the floor with a slow, mushy 
feel...takes about 3 or 4 seconds to reach the floor .  It does not do this 
every time I brake...it started with our first frost here Friday, and I first 
noticed it when I started up the car when temp was 31 outside.  Now the brake 
fade occurs about every 4th or 5th time I hit the brakes...and it seems to 
occur more often at slow speeds, such as in slow moving traffic when car is 
at idle or low rpms.  Fluid level is normal....do I have air or moisture in 
my lines, or is the dreaded  (expensive?) master cylinder replacement on the 
horizon?  Thoughts, Dick?                                Bob Pierson  74 1/2
