I mess with the car a bit this past weekend.

We bled the front brakes and there was an air bubble on the passenger side but the driver side was fine...fluid is not terribly old. Brakes seemed to be functioning normally, pedal pressure was normal, and there has been no more instances of the pedal going soft to the floor apart from the two times originally. I drove the car again a few miles and it felt better but upon getting back and jacking the car in the air, it was still very apparent the brakes were dragging as they would maybe do a half revolution when trying to turn them by hand. We had opened up the bleed screws and compressed the pistons back to take the pressure off the pads...closed everything up again and started the car and the dragging was back. I don't think the calipers are to blame personally as they are both doing the same thing and it started all at once. Same for the ABS sensors, and such cause it would be odd for both of them to go on the fritz at once. My gut is leaning toward the master cylinder even though some of the symptoms (brakes being soft, pedal to the floor) are not happening yet with regularity.
