ok guys this is the second time now. First I replaced all my brakes and bleed the system because the petal was really mushy now it's back. I didn't try bleeding the back ones yet. I still can't find any good info on why this happened.:confused:
 
Mushy brakes all the time means air in your lines. Mushy brakes when they get hot from use means water in the line. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, if you left your system open for long periods to the air, the fluid pulls water out of the air. You may have a leak somewhere if you properly bled and it returns.

To properly bleed the brakes, you do all of them and you start with the wheel that is furthest from the master cylinder + reservoir and work your way to the one that is closest.
 
alright thanks guys I'm going to re bleed them and check the hose from the intake manifold.
