Leaky wheel cylinders will allow air to seep into the hydraulics and give
a "soft" pedal.
So will a master cylinder that is bypassing internally.
Both situations can sometimes be repaired by rebuilding said unit, but I
preferr to replace a faulty cylinder with NOS unit.
You can bleed the system and perhaps get the pedal back but, most likely,
you have an impending brake failure in future.
