I have some pine window frames that are bleeding some brown from behind the paint and I wonder if they have some water that is being held in there even from the factory. My oak window frames that are nearly 100 years old dont have this problem but the younger 30 year old pine does. Is it possible that there are cheaper pine frames that just cant handle the weather over time? Should I replace the exterior frame finish boards with some pressure treated boards to stem the damage?

I has nothing to do with the weather or moisture. it is the oils/tannens in the wood. prime with a good quality oil based primer, and then paint with your latex paint. oils in the wood, especially around knots in the wood will bleed through paint. try Benjamin moore Fresh start fast dry alkyd primer series 094-00. it is a little pricey, but it will solve the problem. then topcoat with a latex paint.
good luck

It sounds like the wood wasn't sealed good before applying the paint. What is bleeding through is the tanins in the wood. A good sealer is KILZ. It will seal the wood and you can paint over it or leave it , KILZ is normally white. But it is better to paint on top.

Most bad stains in wood will bleed to some extent thru any color paint, but of course it is most noticeable thru white paint. This can be avoided by using a good "stain sealer" such as "Kilz" (oil is better than latex) as your first covering. However, you may use it over other paints before adding your final coat. Do not apply any paint, latex or oils over damp wood or below fifty degrees farenhiet.

Pine wood that has knots in it should be primed with a sealer like shellac. You may have to sand the wood done to a clean surface to see where the knots are then seal them. Once this is done, paint over top once the sealer is dried.

the tanins in the wood bleed through the paint first you need to prime the wood with a stain blocking primer such as bin primer or kilz.
