Default Brake problem

Ok my brake light is on in my Cherokee. Thought it would be the switch for the emergency brake but it wasn't. Checked my brake fluid it was a little low. Added more and the light is still on. I believe there might be a leak in the lines somewhere because when the vehicle is off the brake pedal builds pressure to a point but it doesn't stop. I can push it to the floor.

If you can push the pedal to the floor, you've either got a leak or a master cylinder problem. The light is telling you that because the front/rear bias valve in the master cylinder has shifted.
