Brakes: 1999-S70 rear calipers prone to air leaks?

Hi all, recently had some service on my 99 S70 T5 at the dealer. I was having them do the T-belt, and I myself did the brakes about a week later (all rotors, all pads, plus power bled using the IPD pressure bleeder). A week after doing the doing the brakes, it feels like I already have air in the line.

The dealer tech told me that he recommended replacing the rear calipers on the 99's since they had a tendency to let air into the line. Anyone else heard of that? Is he BS'ing me or is it a common issue?

I also have had some trouble on my 98 S70 GLT with air in the lines, but last time I did the brakes I re-bled them 2x, and finally they seem to have held for about 1 year without any air in them yet.

Thanks!
