So i replaced my pads in the EG (it had stock VTI discs & calipers non ABS)the other day got Bendix pads went to put em on noticed that the right caliper was leaking got a new oem replacement checked the left seemed ok changed pads,new fluid and re bled brakes seemed ok brakes felt great , next day i was driving to work and the pedal felt soft again , the master cylinder is only 5000kms old i checked the calipers they seem fine no leaks brake lines are new too , anyone had this problem could it be the booster?

Check for air in the system.

If you have air in the system you wont get any leaks. As the fluids will compress the air as it tries to escape. Go from there.

did u let the fluid reservoir go dry at any point?

were u pushing the brake pedal all the way to the floor when bleeding?

sounds like air in the brake system, bleed master cylinder, than rear to front brakes

how are u bleeding the brake system? just crack open the bleed nipple and let the fluid come out?

is the pedal sinking while braking?
or sinking while at the lights?
thats usually the sign of a master cylinder?

if not i just dont think that u bled all the air out like the others said.

yea it sunk once while driving , at the lights it seemed fine , sunk on random occasions , yea i figured that, the brakes were bled at a workshop with proper mechanics
