When they do this, they're bad.

Well, there's always a little pressure, hence my term 'minimum' pressure.
How much time are we talking about to leak down?  Overnight? A week? 5
minutes?  If it leaked down within a day, I might be inclined to rebuild or
replace it.  Remember, improperly adjusted brakes at the wheel can cause the
very same symptoms, that being a low pedal that pumps up fine.

Hope this helps.
