Sound like you have a air leak somewhere. You might need to rebuild your brakes system. I think there is a tool that you can use to test the pressure out of you brakes so you can figure out where it leaks. Problem with brakes is they don't always leak fluid out most of the time they just suck air in which gives you the issue.

Damn, well where do i start?..lol just take it all apart and look for loose pieces or broken and replace lines and such?...

I looked around on Snap-on's website and could not find a tool to test pressure in a brake system. I guess I should have asked how you were doing your bleeding? You should pump your break till it gets hard if it does not get hard do it for 10-15 pumps. Then pull the brake to the in and this is where you will need someone to help you. You need to open the bleeder valve on the caliper it should release pressure hopefully air and some fluid. Then tighten up the valve and pump again. Repeat all the steps till just fluid is coming out. Also make sure that you have enough fluid in your resevoir. Hope this helps. If bleeding it does not work you will have to do a rebuild on the caliper and the master cylinder. Also replace the brake like a set of steel braided lines is always nice.

It's my bake brakes, i can get them bled great and they work awesome for about 3 mins and then they go to shit..i loose all my pressure, i think i'll order a set of brake lines and see if that helps, if not it'll be nice to have anyway , and then i'll go from there getting the master cylender and such done if it is needed, what are some good brands of lines, just a set from dennis kirk good?
