Well, it was the mc. Just replacing it alone improved my brake pressure drastically, and I haven’t bled the lines yet.

Got about 70% of my brakes back. With no leaks present, I’m going to go ahead and order a MC and have it replaced by Nissan (surprisingly, my local dealer has a heck of a good price system). $97 to replace the MC and do a full flush (with fluid cost too).

Got that fixed. Lines and hoses are good. So no leaks from them. Bled everything. Seem to get a better response for my brakes. Now for a test drive. If the issue persists, would everyone else agree that its the MC? Booster is good (and so is the vacuum, id notice an idle of 2k plus haha).

Doing front right. Found out that the bleeder leaks under vacuum (from the hole, not the threads). Likely culprit? I’ll pump the breaks and see if it leaks then. Did regain a tiny bit of pressure after the rears (not enough to get by though).

As of this morning I wasn’t able to build up pressure. But thanks for the info that a leak can still build pressure. About 1/3 of the way done bleeding. Rear right is done. Working on rear left (about 1/2 done). Thankfully I’m one of the people who have a small stock pile of fluids and sprays. Had 7 unopened quarts of brake fluid.
and I recently had the dash apart for a heater core. Issue began before then. But I felt under the carpet and sound deadening material. All dry.

Borrowed a jack from a friend when I got off work a bit ago. Doing a flush myself today. Barely any brakes as of now. Hoping ft a flush to do the trick. Ordering a master cylinder now. Thank god I’ve got a manual and a parking brake. Gonna save my butt this morning getting home. Thanks for the replies guys!

Well, I was hoping to get some more ideas about what I could test without access to under the vehicle. Got a mightyvac and going to slowly (seized bleeders) work on replacing all the brake fluid (a flush more or less) and if the problem persists, I can assume its most likely the MC or a leak. I park in the garage every night and I never really noticed any unusual leaks (I know my PS pump leaks and I lose a little oil from my breather filter). And from my house to my work, I only brake twice, so that’s nice.
