Do you find any leaks under the car when you work the brakes? If so, that is where to start the repair. If there is no visible fluid leak, then the next most common problem is bleeding. Re-do the bleed process to make sure all air is out of the system.Begin with the wheel that is the furthest from your master cylinder and be sure to keep the master full in the process.
