Did you remove fluid from the master cylinder reservoir so it would not over flow when the calipers were pushed back? If so, maybe the level got too low and air entered at that time? If you drained out the reservoir you may have been able to push the pedal down so far to re-seat the new pads that you bottomed-out the master cylinder and damaged the cups. It may be leaking into the power brake booster where you cannot see it.

I pushed the pistons in just far enough to slip the pads in. I didnt remove fluid from the master cylinder reservoir. I easied the piston back very slow as not to over fill the reservoir. There is absolutly no brake fluid anywhere. Not on the calipers or around the master cylinder. I cannot find a leak. But I will check around the brake booster.
