Check your fluid often.
I also put a piece of clear tubing over the bleeder so that I can see the fluid coming out and direct it to a catch bottle.
On high mileage cars. I put a 2x4 under the pedal. You don't want to push the pedal all the way down. The reason is that the master cylinder bore is worn, and pushing the pedal all the way will rip the the o-rings on the piston in the bore.
You will have to find your leak. Did you spill any fluid when you was adding fluid?

it would be a lie if i said i never spilled fluid(in the brake reservoir compartment.but not recently.
i actually found what seems to be RBF600 underneath the steering rack area which is furthur down than where i spilled. it's been constantly dripping and the underside is drenched with goldish fluid. (mind you that i've been mysteriously wondering why the brake reservoir level has been decreasing slowly..) from the smell i'm certain its the brake fluid.
is the thinner line the brake line? that's where it seems to leak
last pic is to give you a reference where the leak is:
its somewhere ~around between the steering rack and chassis bracing
