Narrative:

Had [a] bleed leak on engine one. This was the second critical incident with this aircraft as had the same issue with aircraft the day prior. I called maintenance this morning and they assured me the bleed leak was isolated down stream of pack valve; so pack one was MEL'd. We arrived at aircraft and all paperwork was signed off. The only issue was the wrong station identifier in the action taken block which was rectified with an info to maintenance. I again called [maintenance] and asked if it was indeed ok to run with bleed one open and he once again assure me that since passenger valve was closed and that maintenance had [identified] the leak to be downstream of pack valve; that yes; the bleed valve could be opened. Taxi was normal. First flight of day actions were normal including ice test. Takeoff was normal. At approximately 600 feet AGL we once again revived an engine one bleed leak. We ran checklists and returned to [departure airport]. The bleed warning extinguished about 5 mins after being selected off. Landing was normal [fire and rescue] meeting us at aircraft on the ground and giving us the all clear. Taxi to gate was normal. Informed [maintenance] of issue.
