Default Long brake pedal

I went to drive my C30 today and had a really long brake pedal, it sounded strange as well as if I was pumping air, and I was barely stopping so I turned round and parked up.

A couple of weeks ago I got a low brake fluid warning message, so topped up the brake fluid and it seemed fine until today.

Any ideas? I only refilled the brake fluid reservoir about half way but it doesn't seem to have dropped (and there's no warning message), so I'm not sure if I've got a leak or what.

Thanks

Possibly air is getting in the system? Might be worth bleeding it, maybe a pressure test is also required.
