Try de-pressurizing your pressure pot and replacing the fluid therein.
Re-pressurize the pot only when you are ready to service the brakes, and
then de-pressurize it when done. Hydraulic fluid absorbs gas (air) just like
almost every liquid--especially if stored under pressure. This gas comes out
of solution as you reduce the surrounding pressure (climb to altitude) and
doesn't re-absorb under normal atmospheric pressure (on the ground).
Therefore the bubbles form and remain in the system.

Could be other causes, but if you're storing your servicing fluid under
pressure, this is a possible one.

Please advise what you find.
