This weekend i replaced my pads on my front brakes and then flushed the old fluid and put new fluid in, and bleed both brakes. The problem is the front braked are really spongy and don't completely stop just a quick slow down, and my bleeder valves seem to be licking a little around the threads. Any suggestions on the this problem?

You more than likely didn't get all the air out. Try bleeding them again. As for the leaking, I've never seen them leak around the threads. You didn't cross thread them putting them back in did you?

No, because i never took the bleeder valves all the way out just loosened them enough to bleed.
