Hi. Bleed the brakes starting from furthest wheel to closest wheel (from brake fluid resevoir), check vaccum connection to brake booster, check for leaks on all 4 wheels, check brake fluid reservoir cap is on poperly (look for "dribbles" of fluid down the side), check all brake lines connections for leakage signs. Make sure you give the brakes a good bleeding. Hope this helps.
