Brake lines are sealed pretty well, but the seal isn't perfect. Trace amounts of fluid escape over time, and trace amounts of air get in. This is perfectly normal. If you have to bleed your brakes every month, there is a major leak, and you need to find it.

as the brakes wear down it creats a space in the master cylinder that takes in air. U have 2 get the air out. its also a good idea 2 change ur brake fluid every 3 years.

Did you pump the brakes back and take up the slack from the new pads?
Once you compress the caliper - replace the pads, there is still play there, and you have to do this.
You can still get air in the system - also check for leaks

Now your argueing with us. Admit you have no idea what you are doin. Take the car to the shop. Your car is on the brink of total brake failure. Hope you remember what I said about 3000 pounds of Detroit Steel...

Go ahead and flush the lines and keep the old fluid in a clear jar on the shelf for a few days. When you see the black sludge that settles to the bottom, you'll know why you need to replace the fluid on occasion.

if you didn't open the system you don't have to . just pump your brake pedal a few times to bring the pressure backup and you should be fine..air can not get in the system if it ain't been opened so you are good to go

If you didn't remove the brake hoses from the caliper you shouldn't have to.
