Hey, anybody know why I get brake fluid leak from the bleeder valves after a brake flush. I tighten the bleeders down real snug, but get leakage anyway. Do the bleeders need to be retightened after the calipers get hot?

 

They shouldn't. And you don't have to tighten the bleed valve super tight. Perhaps you tightened them too tight and broke the seals?

 

That would bother me. Are you sure its not just extra fluid in the area from the bleed. If they are leaking, I would replace them. They don't cost much.

 

Take off the rubber cap and draw any fluid out of the valve as fluid left in there can weep out after a fluid change. If the valve refills after that then you know for sure that it is not sealing properly.

 

Thanks guys. I will try everything with next flush and see if I can't stop this annoying problem.
