That sounds to me like an internal failure of your master cylinder.
An old time mechanic taught me this " New parts are just new, they
are not necessarily good or serviceable". I had a similar issue with a new
master cylinder, pedal creep. Turns out the fluid was bypassing the tandem
seal inside the cylinder. When I took it apart and inspected it, the bore
finish was eccentric. Bad machining. Junk. Bought a new OEM cylinder. All
was right in the brake world.
