Small brakefluid leak
Hello,
Today I saw that the bleed screw of one of the front brake callipers (Teves) leaks. It seems to me that the brakefluid comes between the bleedscrew
and calliper body.
Has someone experienced this same problem before? And how can I solve this?

It is possible that the caliper is cracked because someone before you overtightened the bleed nipple. The force of the taper at the bottom of the
screw is capable of splitting the casting. Hope I am wrong.

How about a little Locktite Threadseal on the nipple thread?
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

The caliper and bleedscrew are new. For this reason I find it strange. Today I will look if the screw is not overtightened, or that I perhaps cracked
the caliperbody or bleedscrew. And fit an new bleedscrew on Monday.
To all thank, now I know where to look at. I will let you know how it has gone.

I've found it, i think. Perhaps i might have tightened the bleeding screw to hard. The tip of the screw has some markings on it.
The caliper casting seems oke.
I'll replaced the screw with an old one i had and now it seems to be alright.
Thanks for helping.
T.J. I thought that you would say that
