Hi, it sounds like you do have airated fluid,some cars can be a problem to bleed. You can try jacking the front up,the slowly turning the steeing wheel left to right with the engine off.This sometimes does a better job then doing it with the engine running. If you still have air,three is a method that uses a vacuum appled to the reservoir to draw the air from the fluid. you need a hand operated vacuum pump and a cap the fits over the revervoir filler hole. Here is some info on doing it this way.
