Hi All,
I just finish rebuilding my calipers, installed, and then road tested. I came back to check the calipers and notice the bleed valves are seeping not at the tips but at the threads. There is enough seeping to form a one or two drop line down the caliper. This is happening on both sides so the question is what is causing the seeping? When I screwed in the new OEM bleeders they were just a tad loose and not firm and I torque them down carefully so I don't strip it. I made sure everything was clean so the valve can seat properly but it is still seeping.
Do I need a sealant around the threads?
Thanks in advance.
