Is it the same when the engine is off and having sat? If so, I would bleed the brakes and make sure it's not air. If that doesn't fix it, I would say master cylinder is going bad and needs replacing.

Pull the wheels off and look for leaks check all the lines front to back check wheel cylinders. Somethings got to be leaking or your master expired.
