soft brake pedal

While sitting at stop lights my brake pedal slowly moves to the floor. I have now noticed the pedal wants to go towards the floor while stopping.

There is less brake fluid evident in the master cylinder reservoir and I see no leaks.

Is the master cylinder the problem?

Could be the master cylinder or the power brake booster. If you're taking everything apart, it wouldn't hurt to replace them both. Does the brake booster appear to have any leaks. Any fluid on the inside of the cab by the pedals?

The master could be leakig into the booster and then it's getting sucked into the intake and burned. Check the vacuum hose to the booster for fluid.
