Flashing BRAKE light | Loss of braking assist

On my way into work this morning, I heard a loud "beep", then my "BRAKE" light started flashing, and what had been a decent stock brake feel turned a little slushy. by the time I got to work, I had to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor to activate the brakes.

No ABS Light. I'm hopingn to get this looked at this afternoon, but anyone have ideas on what might make my brake light flash or this weird pedal feel?

Did you check your fluids? Any leaks after parked for a while?

rear brake caliper seal had blown

apparently the driver's side rear brake caliper had blown a seal, dumping my brake fluid all over the highway. w00t.
