The pedal going to the floor means a leak somewhere.

Are you *quite* certain that the fluid level is NOT declining? That fluid
is going SOMEWHERE for the pedal to be able to go to the floor.

If the Master Cylinder is leaking, you won't see it because the fluid will
go into the booster, but you *will* eventually see the fluid level go down.

If the leak is elsewhere, you need to remove calipers and drums and peel
back dust boots until you find the leaking fluid.

If the car is pulling hard to one side, it could be related to the leak, or
it could be a number of other problems unrelated to leakage. There are many
things that will cause pulling.

Your number one priority right now is the find that leak. If the lines are
not leaking and there are no leaks at the wheels, then your master cylinder
is bad. You can replace it yourself, but there are a couple of gotchas.
