Rusted brake line. Mine did that when I took it out of storage up in Ohio. It let go just before the rear end.

Possibly master cylinder. Pump them a few times and check for fluids under the car a few minutes later. Could be a wheel cylinder. A few minutes will let it leak to the floor for identification.
