Unhappy suburban losing front brakes

Hey guys,

I have a 97 suburban 2500 and on thanksgiving I lost the front brakes. The fluid was low but could not find where it could have leaked so I put in a new master cylinder, bled the system and all was good. Now today the same thing happened, the front part of the reservior is empty and I have no front brakes. The pedal is extremely soft, except the last 2 inches, back brakes, and it will not get hard if it is pumped and it releases extremely slow. Any ideas? Thanks for all the help in advance.

No front brakes? No fluid in front reservoir? Rusted brake line in the front or busted rubber hose to the caliper. Jack it up take off the tires and look, you ll probably see your rusted brake line where it bolts to the frame.
