The bleeder screw is leaking at the thread on the right side caliper, what can I do to fix this? It is only a little bit but I don't need it to leak at all, as far as I know the bleeder screw is tight,I got all the air out already and I don't want to do it again. what ever you guys tell me to do will I need to bleed the whole system again? thanks

i would suggest removing the screw and wraping the treads with teflon tape then screw it in again it should stop it from leaking

that is what i wrap my fuel line threads that go into my carb to make sure that i have a tight seal even though it doesnt leak

Did you strip it??

If so, you'd either tap it or buy a new caliper. Otherwise try the teflon tape trick, that should work.
