The other thing i noticed for me, the interior of the bleeder valve appears dry, so im thinking residual. I redid the job and then dumped a ton of brake clean into the bleeder valve to clear it out. Will report back in a few days.

Your issue was only on the one calliper? That does look like a lot of fluid. Was the inside of the bleeder full as well?

My logic here is that if it is leaking, there should be fluid inside the valve body as well. Right?
Just the one caliper. I hope. Since I have to install the new caliper, I’ll be bleeding them all again. And will recheck the others. Fingers crossed.
I don’t recall if there was anything in the bleeder itself. But if seat is damaged it will leak through threads without leaking through the bleeder screw. That was my logic and why I replaced the screw a few times. Let us know what you find…
