I'm having an issue with my brakes. Just replaced front calipers. Upon completion, power bled the whole system. But now, when i start the car, i have a soft SOFT pedal--afraid to depress too far for the MC seals. When the engine is off, after a few pumps, I have a stiff pedal.

What gives? not sure how to diagnose. There doesn't appear to be a leak anywhere--from what I can tell as the reservoir is still full. it possible there's air in the MC? or air in the brake lines? or something worse?

Thanks!
