Is it normal, as I've just found suggested online (R1 forum), for the bleed nipples to weep fluid out of the threads a bit after brake bleeding?
I hope so, 'cause mine are... :\
Conscientiously, I splurged on three new ones from Yambits.
Ironically, the only one not weeping is the old one round the back of the rear caliper that I wasn't aware of at time of order.
PTFE tape bodge, maybe? Put the old ones back.. (defeatist).
I understand the seal is at the taper not the thread. I suppose its feasible that fluid in the thread from bleeding might 'wick' its way out..
I'll keep cleaning it off for now, fingers crossed.
