rear brake change problem. Flat brake..

Hey guys, I recently changed my rear brake pads and caliper on audi a6 2003 3.0 quattro and also bled the brake lines so its bubble free.
My problem is when I turn on the ignition, and press on the brake its deflates like a balloon with no resistance. Its fine when I turn the ignition off.
Is there a step that I need to take with the vag tool?

regards,
kevin

ok i attempted to rebleed assuming there was still air in the system. And noticed no fluid came out when I opened the front left bleed screw. After pumping and opening screw and seeing slow weak stream.. i noticed brake fluid leaking from under the car.. to the driver side of the transmission oil pan. It appeared to be leaking from above. I checked the brake fluid resevoir and there was no signs of leak with the hood open.. so its further down the system.

Im guessing I have some major damage here... anyone have any clue whats leaking? I might have damaged the system when I floored the brakes when I initally bled the brakes. I know your only supposed to go half way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

regards,
Kevin

Heres is a video clip of the leak. You cant see it in the video but its coming down from further up, out of my reach. I called a guy on craiglist whos gonna come take a look this weekend.. hes obviously not sure since he hasnt seen it but he said it would run me around 200 for labor.
