The car is 3 hours away so it will be awhile again till I can look at it.

you may want to buy a brake bleeder they are about $30 & make bleeding much easier.

if you are still getting air when you bleed the system & there are no leaks then your master cylinder is internally pumping air into system
replace master & bleed the system.
