So even tho I did not see any leakage when I replaced both rear pads, it had gotten air
Inside the system.
After driving after install the new pads, the pedal had excessive travel. I drove the car for some days to see if it got better. It didnt.

Today I power bleeded the calipers, all 4. No special order.
I started on the back since it was there I changed the pads.
Did see small bubbles only on the right rear caliper.
While I hade the power bleeder stil on the car, I pumped the brakes 4-5 times, trying to feel
If its got better. It was little better, but then I saw bubbles coming from the fluid reservoir.
I pumped a few times more, then it was clear. Then I released the pumped up air in the power bleeder.

Put all 4 wheels on the car. Now its completly normal!
Next time I change pads, I'm gonna bleed the calipers aswell
Thanks guys
