2000 S70 - Air in rear caliper S70

Over the past 6 weeks, I’ve bled the brakes on my wife’s S70 on three occasions and found air in the left rear caliper each time. Only the LR. All others are fine.

The fluid level remains constant between bleedings and I can’t find any signs of leakage.

My question is, can a caliper (always LR) get air in it and there be no signs of leaks?????? Is replacing the caliper the solution??

This problem was preceded by my wife driving the car with the parking brake on…

Any comments?? Thanks Jim
