Brake Problems

Well my brakes are spongy...so I attempted to bleed my brakes...had no problems with the back but the front continously had air in them. I believe that its my pressure valve..As it looks like it may be leaking..Im not exactly sure. Also my brake fluid appears "rusty" not what comes out of the new bottle. So I planned on replacing the pressure switch, valve, and master cylinder (dont know if really need to), and brake hoses. How do I determine if my m/c is going bad? there is no leaking fluid that I can tell..If I have to replace how do I bench bleed as I have heard people refer to?? Is there any special tools needed for any of this process I plan on doing?? I didnt know if I would need any flare wrenches...
