Default Brake Problem Urgent Help Req!!

Hi,
Driving wy 1993 import WRX to work today and the ABS Light came on. As I thought nothing of it I continued on my way. A few junctions later and I had no feeling in the brakes at all. When I jammed thm on the ABS unit didnt work and it kept rolling. Im not sure what the cause of this is and need urgent help as im affraid to even drive it home incase they fail completly. It could be that the rubber seals are gone in the master slave cylinder. Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Any idea where to look for one. Can these be taken apart and the rubber seals replaced in them?

A few to choose from here. Or new from Scubaru. Local Scrappy. Etc.

I have seen seal kits for the caliper but never the Master Cylinder, thats not to say you cant get them though. Ask at Subaru.
