Noah...even if your calipers were seized the pedal should still return. It probably is the maser cylinder. How long has it been since the brake fluid was flushed completely and replaced? Things might be gummed up in the m/c. I'd start by flushing the fluid with some good stuff. Start with the cheap solutions and work your way up. Replacing calipers is expensive and not likely the problem. Not replacing your fluid every 2 years will ruin the m/c and calipers after a while though. Remember your basic maintenance items and make sure they are taken care of. (like replacing oil and filter every 4-5k even if it is the Mobil 1 synthetic and costs a lot). Once a year regardless of whether you do less than 5k. Oil is cheap compared to a new motor.

If you are smelling coolant then it is getting out of the system somehow and dripping on the engine or exhaust. Might check the water pump housing or connections there.
