Ok Guys,

I changed the brake fluid on my 100/6 recently (dot 4), and ever since I
have had a poor pedal on first pump, followed by a better one on the second
pump.

I posted a question a few weeks back on the correct sequence for bleeding
(start furthest away from the master cylinder) which I duly followed.

No improvement.

Then I noticed a leak from the back R/H drum.

And found the Wheel cylinder was leaking, and the shoes were contaminated.

So I put a seal kit in both rear wheel cylinders and fitted a new set of
back shoes.

And bleed the whole system again extremely well. (Definitely no air still in
system)

Same problem, please help!

The fluid level in the reservoir is not decreasing, No air bubbles visible
in the reservoir. no leaks or loss of fluid visible any where.
