If you have those plastic hose-clamp pliers just pinch off all 4 brake hoses (after you bleed) and pump up the pedal gently. If it firms up, you know the issue is post-brake hose. If it DOES fade, you have a failed master (or possibly ABS hydraulic unit, if equipped).
Remove the hose clamps one corner at a time a repeat the test. When your pedal drops again, you've found your culprit. Or, at least where to further your diagnosis.
