It's my only car ATM. I don't drive far distanced due to being laid off just about a mile a day to the gym and back. They will work if I pump them sometimes or if I mash them but they still slowly loose pressure. I was wondering if it's eating my other break parts if anyone knows?

I doubt it's doing anything to the other parts... but spitting out brake fluid would be my guess

aight here's a quick tip, i'll say some advice,
if ya master cylnider's bad you'll be endangering lives
the only place i'd drive that chevy cobalt
is to the dealership or one of those old shops

they got mechanics there that'll fix you up nice
and get you braking right for a nice price.
then you won't have to think twice
when you're breaking at night for an orange or green light

if they cylinder is going bad it's not wearing out your pads faster,
no movement in the pump means its not applying mad pressure
that'll make drivers make mad gestures when you crash next to
a rad lexus and mess up his antenna's

Have them check your blinker fluid also. Listen to RB, you are driving a very unsafe car, and tearing up more parts in the long run.
