brake valve

Have a question for anyone that could help me having problems with my brakes when I apply on the brakes after a couple of time it seems like its looses pressure or something because my pedal goes down to the floor what I notice is that the brake valve where the sensor plugs into has brake fluid ariung that area is that normal or that valve so be spotless from brake fluid.

There shouldn't be ANY leaks in the hydraulic system.

If there is a leak... fix it.

If the pedal loses pressure and there isn't a leak .......the master cylinder has gone bad and needs replaced

I agree with Mil1on, if the pedal goes to the floor, and there are no leaks, it is a master cylinder problem. Not a booster problem.
