1 Air is trapped inside...it does NOT come from leaks....it's always been
there..
2 Do you have auto adjusters on the brakes?
When brakes are readjusted tighter than before...the wheel cylinder pistons
are further IN the bore....the fluid has to go somewhere.....back to
reservoir...
The fronts may not be adjusting...or they are wearing down......
A dual MC....even if leaking between chambers........is closed off from the
reservoir as soon as the pedal is slightly depressed [ piston covers hole in
bottom of reservoir...]
