Brake Problems on 87-Brake Booster?
When i'm driving, sometimes there will be brake pressure and somtimes
there won't. If i apply pressure for a few seconds, the pedal loses presure and goes to the floor. I have to pump the brakes to get the car to stop. I tried bleeding the brakes and got through the back to wheels fine, but when i tried to bleed the front right brake, air bubbles kept coming out. After refilling the resivoir for the 3rd time (it never got completly empty), i got the idea that it might be somethign more complicated. I was able to bleed the front left with no problems but the same thing kept happening when i tried to drive it. I checked all the lines and can't find any leaks, but i have an oil leak so i might be missing something thinking its just oil and not brake fluid. There is some black fluid underneath where the brake booster connects to the master cylinder but i don't konw if its coming out of there or is oil . I can also hear some air come out of the brake booster inside the car but i dont' know if that is normal. I don't know too much about brakes and i don't want to take apart the whole system before i know what to look for. Any ideas?

It sounds to me like you master cylinder may be going bad, especially with the fluid at the mating surface of the booster and MC.
The brake pedal going to the floor after holding it for a few seconds is also an indicator that says bad seals in the master cylinder.
