Have a 1966 Mustang all restored 8cyl, everything on the car was new 10 years ago when restored. Car has been sitting a few months, went to start it, brake fluid all leaked out on the garage floor, brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. Where so I begin to find the problem? Thanks so much.

Wheel cylinders ,look at the back side of the wheels if it is a wheel cylinder it will be wet . The master cylinder can also leak from the back side ,look under the dash to see if the fire wall is wet inside below the master cylinder. Seeing the floor is wet ,i would say it is a wheel cylinder
