Might need to be bled sounds like you might of sucked air in the lines if the fluid was empty.

Master Cylinder bleeding back into the powerbooster, front to rear brake line or a caliper could be leaking. Just a few things I'd look at

If you say the brake fluid was empty that would suck air in the lines when pressing the pedal.

ok i understand that but the brake fluid wasnt empty yesterday and there was still a little bit in the bottum. but it doesnt feel lik air bubble in the line the peddle just goes straight to the floor. ill take ur advice into consideration for later wen i look at it though.
