Brake Bleeder Screw is leak, need help
Hello everyone. I replaced the brake fluid, now fluid appears under the bleed screws. The screws are well tightened. But the liquid still appears below them after the trip.
Has anyone had such a problem? What should I do?

the bleeder screws have, at some point, been over-torqued. Hopefully the screws are damaged and not the threading in the caliper.

Replace the bleeder screws (all of them) and make sure you don't over-tighten them. They're made from relatively soft aluminum and they are likely distorted from being over-tightened.
