OK. Finally found another copper washer. Harder than it should have been. You buddies may get a kick out of result. Seemed to be the trick and then I tried bleeding the brakes once again. Left front was blowing out fluid like there would be no tomorrow. Was ready to quit for the today but I have always been known for being tenacious. Checked again and found the bleeder screw was open. Call me Mr stupid. The double washer did solve the problem. But, after taking it out for a slow test drive, came back to fine a leak in the same area. Not brakes. Looks like the power steering high pressure hose is leaking. No rest for the weary. Thanks for your help. You guys solved it.
