Just yesterday I felt brake pedal getting a bit mushy. Does not leak brake fluid visibly and I don't see the level going down in the reservoir. I'm guessing maybe master cylinder. Symptoms is that the first brake is mushy, then it builds pressure and is stiff as >usual. Seem to be same symptoms as with a leak, except didn't notoce fluid loss. Any ideas?

When the piston in the master cylinder is worn, brake fluid can bypass.  "pumping" can sometimes catch more fluid and give the result you have.
