My 04 forks seem to always be filled with air everytime I ride like even for 15 minutes of riding... I will bleed the air than ride for 15 mintues come back and it seems like i havent bled the air out of them in months... It blows for a good second or two. What is causing this?

Could be a Bad seal??
When your forks rebound they could be sucking air in between the Fork and Seal.

heat expansion of the air and oil in the forks. normal

yeah i know it builds air in there but this is more air than usual. They never blew as much air out before and my 07 doesnt do it. I will bleed them and only ride for a few mintues and ill bleed it and it will sit there blowiong air out for a good while... on my 07 i can ride for hours and it still barely blows out.

You are bleeding with the front wheel off the ground? When was the last time they were serviced?
