Jeep Brakes.
A while ago, I had a spongy pedal and a real sluggish stop. So I looked under the hood and realized the brake fluid was very low. So I filled it and was on my way. I got home and the fluid was gone again. So, it came to be bad wheel cylinders. ....So those were replaced. I think I got all the air out of the system...but I think the fluid is still disappearing. Any ideas?

Then it's still leaking...?
The only reason I had to replace my drum cylinders was because my brake lines were leaking and they were so rusted I couldn't get them out of the cylinders.
Just check all the lines for any possible leaks.

How did you bleed it? Someone pumping the pedal or did you do gravity bleeding?

I pedal pumped. The fluid in the reservoir always comes back and sits right at or a tad above the add line. The pedal is pretty firm. Is that where the fluid should be?
