Your master cylinder is leaking past the piston inside the master cylinder. DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR ANY FURTHER. If you can complete the repair yourself, great. If not call for a flatbed tow truck to get you to a shop. You do not want to run into another vehicle because the brakes don't work the next time you try and apply them. Your brake light should be on in the dash now. It should come on when it senses an uneven line pressure in the hydraulic system. The master cylinder will need to be replaced, or rebuilt with a kit and then the entire system bled.

do you mean 1 of these?
