After installing a brand new master cylinder and bleeding the brakes, I was able to drive around just fine for about a week until I found my pedal had gone soft and there was no brake fluid in the rear reservoir of the master cylinder. I haven't identified exactly where the leak is at, I just know it exists somewhere in the front brakes. Because this car hasn't had any new lines on it since it came out the factory, I was wondering what the best and easiest to install brake kits were. Probably will need both soft and hard lines replaced. Any suggestions as to where I should buy a complete kit? Also, on a slightly separate note, the red brake warning light was on before and after doing this brake work... maybe just a fuse?

For brake kits, many folks use Stainless/Goodridge full line kits, hard and soft lines together make life easier. As for the red light, it could be a sensor or fuse, but fix the leak first.
