Brake Problems..

Well the other day i changed pads etc etc and a new right front rubber line.. now i bled the brakes properly, farthest away etc etc.. now ive had to re bleed them twice since then. It seems to stay firm for a few days then all of a sudden ill lose all pedal. Then when i rebleed them the right front seems to always push out a ton of foamy fluid before i get straight fluid with no air bubbles in it. What can cause the foam issue. everything seems to be tight and im not losing any fluid.

That new right front line must be letting air in. Is the in-line nipple where the line goes through the strut air tight? Is it in 2 parts that wants nipping up tighter?
