Do I need a new master cylinder?

I noticed today that my brakes lose pressure after being depressed. I can pump them up and get the pressure back, but soon after, the pedal sinks to the floor. I had a major brake job done about 3 months ago but just noticed the problem today. I've searched the archives and it looks like the general advice for sinking brake pedals is a bad master cylinder. How do I confirm that it is the master cylinder? If it is, is replacement a job that a person of average intelligence with a Haynes or Bentley manual in hand could perform?
