Air in Brake Fluid?

2002 Iveco 75E17, Brake warning light on. I found air in both front brakes (rear OK) bled all air from front left but could not get a clear flow of fluid from the front right (3 litres of fluid), however, brakes much better and warning lights out for a few days, now back to square one, warning lights on and a lot of air in the front brakes again any ideas how the air is getting into the system?

Check for corroded brake pipes as this will let air in,
Possible you have a leak somewhere along your brake lines also check seals in calipers for leaks!
Also dont forget to let your brake fluid stand for a while once poured into the top up reservoir
Also note that when bleeding its recommended that you do one front and the opposite back wheel then the front and then the back again! you cant just bleed the front wheels!
Also make sure you have the correct brake fluid!
