Default Brakes needing bleeding every 7-14 days

ive had the brake system bleed several times, also had the master cylinder changed including new sealing o ring, the servo set up is working fine with no air leaks on the connecting hose (tested with foot on pedal at start up)

No visible leaks any where or twisted brake hoses or kinked brakes pipes, the brakes are fine for 7-14 days dependant on amount use but then the drop off, but once re bleed they come back fine and are perfect again. Even when bleeding though there is never any air visible.

Im thinking that the rear compensator may be at fault but as i have always just had the full system re-bleed each time I haven't been able to pin point the issue.

ive check all fitting throughout the system are tight also.

Have you got drums on the back? Could be a leaky cylinder...can't usually notice a leak til you've taken the drum off.
