1986 Honda Accord 159,000 miles. (Brakes) Replaced master cyl. (leaking) bench bled master and bled system, good pedal two days later lost good pedal found air in ft. brakes. Re-bled system, two days later air in ft. brakes again (not a Honda Mec.)

Car won't hold a good brake pedal. Looked for the way air could enter the system, but can't find one. System is full of fluid, and I get a good pedal after bleeding but after it sets or drives for two days the air returns in the ft. brakes.

have the system pressure bled to get all the remaining air that is trapped out of the system. beyond that make sure all your lines are tight along with all bleeder screws.
