"crap" ;
poss the seals in the master cylinder have been destroyed? ============= fit new master cylinder.
use about 2 litres of brake fluid and change the fluid, take the bleed nipples all the way out if you can and let it gravity bleed itself for half an hour or so, just keep topping reservoir up. (by not pumping the pedal you are not putting new seals under pressure till all lines are full with fresh fluid).
when you are sure all lines are dripping out fresh fluid, do a proper bleed. if more crap comes out i would suspect the flexy hoses are breaking down internally and change the set (assume they are all same age and if 1 has failed---the others will too).
