I had a problem like this with a Nissan that used conventional brake fluid in it. The petal would fade lower after about a week. There was air in the left side. Bleed it and it would do the same thing a week later. A new master cylinder didn't help. I noticed that when I bled it the air was right there in the left wheel cylinder and came out as soon as the bleeded was cracked open. A new wheel cylinder fixed it. That's when I learned air can get in through a wheel cylinder.
Do you notice the air come out as soon as the wheel cylinder is cracked open? If so, I would think that is where it's getting in and not up top through the valve and hoses.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
