Braided Lines...

I had the same problem with the bleed nipple kept weeping but I cannot remember if I just kept tightening them or if I ended up buying new ones or it could of just been oil in the thread chamber coming out which eventually stopped

yeah i recall you posted something a while ago, i forget what you did as well... :lol

Have my rear caliper seals here now so getting that sorted then its just keeping an eye on leaks and barring that its good to ride...

watching them like a hawk...

[anutz]

So a slight update, have the rear fitted and bled, not sure if the bleed nipple is leaking or not, over night some fluid has ran down the back of the caliper onto the floor but there is pressure in the brake, so it might just be what was trapped in the bleed nipple threads as Fazersharp has mentioned...

I am watching the fronts as well...

Does any one use any type of sealant on the threads or something similar to stop any leaking etc...

[Andy FZS]

Mine seem to be leaking to after bleeding the brakes. I fitted stainless bleed nipples thinking I'd improve things but now I wonder. So I guess if I still have a damp patch in a few days then I have a problem.

[Jules-C]

It's not the thread that forms the seal it's the tapered end of the bleed nipple blocking the end of the narrow channel in the caliper body

[Andy FZS]

Yes and wondered if the taper on the new ones might be different to the original perhaps.

[Jules-C]

The taper isn't that critical as long as it's still a straight taper and not worn with ridges

[anutz]

So - i think the rear nipples are ok, the fronts are BOTH still weeping.....FFS!

What "things" can you do to resolve this..

1. Replace....actually tried some new SS ones but same issue
2. File any specific surfaces.....don't fancy touching the caliper...

Its really annoying....it must be the tiniest leak as the lever is still firm...
