Before you spend any money on the expensive items, you should:

1. Get the brake fluid reservoir cap really really tight (if you need to open it again, use a plier if necessary). While the engine is NOT running, pump the brake pedal a few times until you can not depress the pedal any more. If the pedal still goes down then your reservoir cap is leaking.

2. When was the last time you bleed your brakes? Bleed the brakes by using a tool like the motive bleeder from http://www.motiveproducts.com. I highly recommend Valvoline SynPower DOT 4 fluid. This is the best you can buy besides ATE, Motul and the rest of the expensive stuff.
