Had the same problem with mine a couple times.
First time, I didn't realize there was a bleeder on the LSPV.
Second time I had a tiny leak between the halves of the front caliper. Replaced the caliper, all better.

had that problem on a cady, ends up being if you get air in the ABS block there are pockets in there that you cant get bleeding at home you have to power bleed the ABS block at a dealer, someone that has one anyway. Check your vac line, and make sure you bled in the right sequins.

i just had to bleed my brakes this past weekend. i thought i got it all taken care of, only to find that i had to redo it again. after the second time, the lspv was the only thing that still had air in it, and it was amazing how much too. the fluid came out cloudy because of it all.
