Poor brakes

Hi,
i have a 1985 toyota tercel,the problem is the brake pedal still feels "spongy" after refilling the master cylinder and bleeding the system.
I have noticed that the rear left needs to be pumped on the pedal a few times to get brake fluid oil to bleed out the bleed nipple,when it does come out there is no air in the oil,i was just wondering if the wheel cylinder on this side is leaking or have i a more serious problem like a
master cylinder or the brake booster etc,the brake pads in the front are good and the rear shoes are new,any help would be most appreciated!.
Thanks
Al.

Adjust the brake shoes and rebleed it doesn't work -replace the master cylinder
