Brake Problems..
 
Well the other day i changed pads etc etc and a new right front rubber line.. now i bled the brakes properly, farthest away etc etc.. now ive had to re bleed them twice since then. It seems to stay firm for a few days then all of a sudden ill lose all pedal. Then when i rebleed them the right front seems to always push out a ton of foamy fluid before i get straight fluid with no air bubbles in it. What can cause the foam issue. everything seems to be tight and im not losing any fluid.

maybe a hole in the line. check your lines, also using the wrong fluid made a weird jelly foamy stuff in my motor bike.

If you lightly hold the brake pedal down, does it slowly sink to the floor?

Did you get this problem resolved?

im guessing you have a leak somewhere in the caliper. might be time to rebuild them. it is a 20 year old car after all.
if they leak past the pistons, then i would guess you'd never actually see the fluid.
