Bleeding Brakes on 240 wagon blues 200

I need to do a total bleed on my '87 240 DL wagon. I've been having some problems.

1-I seem to be getting sepage through the bleeder valves. I tried to open them the correct amount but these are new rebuilt calipers and the bleeder valve is very loose and maybe opening more than it should. (?) It also looks like there are really tiny bubbles being drawn in from where the tube goes over the bleed valve. Is this a result from valves being open too much?

2-Having a really hard time getting all the air out. Should the cap on the master cylander fluid container be on or off during this? Also do I have to do all three at same time when it comes to front calipers or can I do one at a time.

Any and all help appreciated.

John
