maybe I describe better. when pumping brakes I have small fountain of fluid raising in fron chamber . nothing in rear. is that maybe because I keep front of the car higher than a back when working on brakes bleeding?

Did you bench bleed the MC to where you saw no air bubbles in the front or rear chamber and also saw a small "fountain" of fluid in both the front and rear chamber? When bench bleeding, use slow strokes and don't exceed 1" of travel. Also, I have found that using plugs in the ports is more effective than hoses that go into the chambers.

Put another way, you have air in your system that, more than likely is locked into the master cylinder and why you are asked if you had bench bled the M/C. As noted...it should not be percolating.
