Default Breaks have no pressure!

2001 Dodge ram 5.9 360
Horrible breaks basically don't exist, no pressure when pressing in the breaks

My first thought was the master Cylinder replaced it bleed it and everything same problem bad breaks!
Second thought break booster might be bad tested it break booster seems to be perfect!

Break lines to all 4 tires seem to be dry as can be. But further inspection of break lines mounted on my rear axle the distribution block seems to be leaking alot!
personally i'm no mechanic by no means and really need help what to do further any advice would be incredibly helpful thanks!

That's just seepage from the axle vent tube. (it actually holds that block in place.)

You need to check the rear brake line where it goes past the gas tank. They are famous for rusting out there, and leaking. You won't necessarily see fluid hitting the ground either. It pools on top of the tank.

Is this vehicle new to you? Did the problem just start? How is the parking brake?

I with HeyYou check along the tank.
