Wrong section, but did you make sure there are NO air bubbles as the system was bleeding? You need to see a solid stream of fluid thru the tube before closing the bleeder screw.
I suspect you may be losing fluid in your reservoir, thus air may be getting in somehow. Re bleed the brakes and see if you can burp the system of any air bubbles. Also, try to clean the calipers and brake hoses if they are dirty with brake cleaner and then stomp on the brake pedal, check to see if you have any fluid leaking from the hoses or from the seals of the caliper. I was losing fluid and did the "stomp and see" procedure mentioned and found out my rear right caliper was leaking. I didn't bother with a remanufactured caliper and just bought a seal kit for dirt cheap to fix the issue.
If you're not losing fluid from the brakes or lines, then check to see if the fluid reservoir is sealed properly. If you stilk cant find a leak, then you'll have to see if the fluid has gotten into the brake booster. According to the FSM, if a small amount leaks into the booster you're fine. But over a certain amount and the manual demands that the brake booster gets R&R'd.
