Most likely one of the internal o-rings has failed on the MC.

No new ones....uuuggghhhh Doesnt anyone find it odd that the rear caliper was full of air again by the time i go tto the FR caliper? Or the fact that when I was bleeding the BMC just now with the car turned on it felt firm at first and then like 3 seconds later soft again? Shouldn't the BMC stay nice and firm the entire time? Even after letting off after a few seconds?

Yes, if all the internal seals are sealing properly. Hence, why you need to get a reman MC.

Nope. If you take a look at the FSM, it shows how the MC goes together. You'll see a few inner o-rings that seal off certain chambers. It's a closed system, so it won't leak fluid, it just won't hold pressure.
