I have a 2008 Cadillac DTS and the brake pedal is super loose won’t even brake the car and the brake goes all the way down , and it overheats with antifreeze in the tank ? Is one of the lines clogged for the overheating ? And is it my master cylinder for the brakes?

won’t even brake the car

have your brake system inspected

Brake pedal goes to the floor and doesn’t stop the car:

1. Air in the brake lines. 
2. Brake fluid leak.              
3. Brake booster is failing. 
4. Brake master cylinder is failing. 

Engine overheating with fluid visible in the reservoir tank:

1. Broken water pump.              
2. Thermostat failure. Need to replace with OEM part.        
3. Heater core is plugged up.   
4. Radiator issues.

You need to take your car to an reputable independent mechanic for a proper inspection, diagnosis and repair.
