Bleeder screw is leaking,Got the brake lines and all the air out but now what please

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.
