Hi all...

I just acquired a 1965 P1800 that has a bit of an issue with its brakes. I'm able to brake normally after bleeding the system, but after a day or two of sitting it's as if air has worked its way back into the system--any stopping requires that I pump the brake at least once or twice before I get brakes to respond. I see no brake fluid leaks anywhere, and I'm not sure what else to check. Where should I look next?

Thanks!

- Dan
