seeping bleeder valve

[teacherguy]

I bled my rear caliper and tightened down the valve. Now I have a small seeping leak coming from the threads. Did I over tighten and screw everything up? Is the valve thread area just dirty? Let me know as I'm getting closer to back on the road.

Thanks,

Chance

leak from the threads? You might have stripped it but even then you would have had to do a BAD job to get it to leak.

Clean the area really well (like really clean) and check again for a leak.

Will do. Thanks!
