Default no brakes

anyone ever have their brakes go out completely while driving their C3? On my was back from the BMV getting temporary tags for the vette, luckily just around the corner from home, I lost all feeling in the brake pedal and thought I was going to die! :sad:

Luckily I was just a block away from home, my dad was there, and I was only going 5mph when I realized I no brakes. I didn't get to really check it out b/c I was on my lunch but I'm leaking from the front and back drivers side caliper area. So does anyone have any tips for me or any possible solutions to my brake crisis?

Any help would be great!
Thanks
Dan
