I don't know anything so don't listen to me.

If you use say a Motive power bleeder... it gives you a gauge, pump it up to 15PSI, and see if you have any leaks (loss of pressure) over say 10 minutes. If so, find it. Of course, the connection of the motive between the resevoir and the adapter are prone to leak, so do those right... but otherwise, if you get a good seal, you can determine if you have a leak somewhere else, or if it is an internal leak.

Internal = brake cylinder (you replaced this), or brake booster (I suppose). How else/what else is there to test?
