After changing my pads i noticed there seems to be a small leakage coming from the bleed nipple.
I dont think its leaking from the nipple itself, but from around the threads (its not crossthreaded)
Its not leaking massively but its noticable overnight as the caliper has some small patches of brake fluid.
The fluid doesn't seem to seep when i'm applying the brakes and the brakes work fine.
I've tightened the nipple as tight as i dare but there seems to be a very small amount of fluid existing.
Is it worth buying a new bleed nipple or just replace the caliper with a second hand one?

the same was happening to mine jake!... i replaced both rears for new ones?...ebay, think they where £3.25each?..cured mine?? :)

One place you def dont want fluid loss-the brakes! First off try replacing the bleed nipple with new one. DONT overtighten. The nipples are subject to all sorts of crap from the road,although the threaded section should be protected from the worst. :)

Ive bought a new nipple, its not visabley leaking its just the caliper around the nipple appears to be damp.

According to my gf, a bit of leakage around the nipples is not necessarily a sign of anything untoward and can just be a natural part of the monthly cycle.
I'm not sure she really understood the question though.
