Air in rear brake calipers S70

Has anyone had a problem of air getting into the rear brake calipers?? I have bled air from the left rear caliper on to occasions. I can't see any sign of fluid leaking and can't see any loss of fluid in the master cylinder. The pedel just gets a little spongy. Any comments anyone??

Thanks, Jim

Are you sure that it's not a bad master cylinder or do you actually find air when you bleed the brakes?

There is definitely air in the caliper. When the bleeder valve is first opened, there is mostly air, little fluid. On the second pump-up I get a solid flow of fluid and the pedal is firm and full.
