My guess you mean?
pedal pressure?
and is it spongy
is it driving to floor as you press
is it hard pedal but the vacuum booster fails, that is
it its hard pedal but it takes more foot pressure to stop car.
that can be booster, or engine stall or loss of vacuum top the booster. or booster is bad.
try to say the full story , effects? as you brake,

Long shot: Bad master cylinder - Typically the brake pedal will slowly sink to the floor. On early 2000 vintage Chrysler products you need to check brake lines as they have been known to rust (and fail catastrophically)

My brake pedal slowly losing pressure goes to the floor and then I have to pump it up again

If you break fluid level is correct and your break pedal goes down to the floor means that your master cylinder is going bad and you might loose your breaks completely if not checked or replaced. Your breaking system is down to the last O ring inside the master cylinder, once that rubber O rings goes you will not have any breaks at all. Master cylinders have a number of rubber O rings that work like a plunger or piston that produce pressure within the breaking system. When the first one wears down due to age, your pedal begins to loose break pressure and you have to pump your breaks several times to gain breaking. You are now down to the last rubber O ring and a warning that your master cylinder needs to be checked. You can still use your breaks but only for a few days before the other rubber O ring gives out too. Once both O rings give out you completely loose your breaks.

My brakes aren't working well. when I step on the break pedal gradually goes down to the floor. At red lights I have to put it on park. I've changed the brake pads, bled them, still don't work.....

1-change brake master cylinder it has damage o rings that losses break due to its age

2-also try to check all hoses pipes for break oil leak include under car pipes that connect master cylinder to the rear wheels

3-check pressure pipes that connect master cylinder to cylinder head

Leaking brake fluid from the middle of car 2000 grand marguis

Sounds like a brake line is cracked and leaking. Stop driving that car until you fix this. Break fluid leaks can cause sudden loss of hydraulic pressure and a complete break failure.

ABS and loss of break pressure

Yes you can disable ABS. First, You said you loose brake pressure. Does your brake system have a vacuum booster and a master cylinder or is the master cylinder abs hydraulic assembly all built together?

Brake hydrolic pressure loss.

you still have air in the system,you need to cross bleed the system,RR,LF,LR,RF.if this does not work you might try picking up a hand operated vacum pump to help get all the air out.

Loss of brake pressure

you might check your brake fluid. if it looses preasure than regains it after a second it may be low on fluid allowing air to get into the lines. you might need to blled the breaks to get all the air out of the line. if you need instructions on how to do that let me know.
