Penny, if you push VERY gently on the pedal, does it slowly sink?
Are the bubbles the same every stroke return ?
Does the 'click' happen if you have the hand brake applied? (Could be
wear in push/rod, or rear mechanism)
The DOT 4 should have no bearing on your problem.
Did you adjust all the slack out of the rear brakes?(Untill they
drag)
Is the 'click' from the pedal arm/master cylinder or rear brakes?
Do you have too much play in the front wheel bearings?
First off, it appears to be the master/cylinder, but check all the
above first.
