2G Brake bleeder screw leak

[96WhiteEclipse]

Hey guys, I recently got new (remanufactured) front brake calipers and I’ve had some issues and noticed a tiny leak at the base of the bleeder screw. As well, when I barely crack open the bleeder screw ,on any caliper of the car, it leaks at the base of the screw instead of bleeding through the hose. Any advice?

P.s. I haven’t really over tightened the screws either

Had this issue with my brembos the threads were chewed up you might have to remove the bleeder completely to check it out

Replace the bleeder screws and place teflon tape around the bleeder screw base during bleeding to keep air out. If still leaking try putting the teflon tape right on the threads while replacing the bleeder screw.

Right or wrong, I use Teflon tape on the bleeder screw threads too so they don't leak while bleeding. Mine would suck air back in if they weren't tight when I told the wife to release the pedal.
