77 effie brake probs

Ive got problems with master cylinder in my 77 f100.
Fluid seems to migrate from front chamber of cylinder to rear chamber,causing realy soft pedal.
Has anyone else had this problem and what do I do.
Is there an easy fix or is it new master cylinder.

There are several threads on this problem here to read. If I remember right the common solution was most often => Bad master cylinder.
