Brakes have always been stiff in my C3, but they feel really stiff right now... Like manual brake stiff. Not sure if they've always been like that.

No visible vacuum leaks. But then again, my motor makes about as much vacuum as a diesel. Haha.

So I did the pump up the brake pedal test, and turned the motor on while pressing on it. It moves down incrementally. Like, 1/2 an inch.

So... is it working? Working poorly?
