Raceconcept brakes installed - couple Q's

I just installed the raceconcept brake kit for all 4 corners including ss lines. I've got a couple questions as my brakes are still performing poorly.

1) Seems the brake pedal has too much initial travel, then seems pretty spongy and requires more pressure to get decent braking. While at a stop, if I press on the brake pedal with more pressure, I can get it to bottom out. Then when I release the pedal, it pushes back to the normal position with the same spongy feel. I've bled the system(abs, calipers) twice with same results. Before replacing the brakes, the pedal felt very similar, if not exactly the same. So I've never had a "firm" pedal.

2) The left rear SS line seems to be leaking. Where it connects to the brake line, I've notices the clear cover over the braid has become very cloudy with a slight blue(new fluid) and it about 2" long. Am I correct? Is this a dangerous situation? I've left a few messages with Raceconcepts with no reply yet.
