Would you smart guys help me with a brake problem.

TT is working fine, but today the Jeep has brake issues. Each time you push the pedal it goes down farther. First time you push it, it does fine...then second push, weaker, third push even weaker.

Don't appear to be leaking fluid. Fluid level looks ok.
? Thanks

If your not losing fluid my guess is it needs to be bled.

When I push the peddle down it makes a whooshing airlike sound.

Does that help any?

Last question about the brakes, I may have done the following...

If last week I topped off the brake fluid, but didn't get the cap on right, (the seal inside the cap, rather didn't seat right) then I could have gotten air in the system and bleeding it might fix, right? (Hope)
