Narrative:

Cle to mke. On climb out, bleed #1 leak occurred on the EICAS. I completed the memory items as the captain called the instructions. The QRH was completed. As the QRH advised, a timer was set and within the prescribed 3 mins the warning went away. Maintenance control was advised and recommended we return to cle. We made an overweight landing uneventfully. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that this same aircraft had previous write-ups which had been cleared. About 1 week later this same aircraft was grounded again with a bleed leak. It was only this aircraft which had the bleed problem, not others in the fleet.
