have someone press th eopedal, and check all the soft hoses at each wheel, and loo for uldging if the soft hose has failed, it will swell up like a tumor when you press the pedal, and shrink back down when you let off, and this swelling could be where the fluid is going. if not BLEED MORE or try a different technique
