(should only be a very short period of time). Then repeat the same with all four calipers and for good measure with the clutch bleeder under the car on the drivers side, see bentley for a good pic.


PS If you don't have a power bleeder have an assistant pump up the brakes and maintain pressure on the pedal when you open the bleed screws. Do each wheel, two bleeders per wheel one at a time, if that doesn't fix it then I'm with lil B prolly a master cylinder.
So I bled the brakes, and the problem disappeared for about 10 minutes. It then returned; I jacked the front end up, and checked the wheels while a buddy braked. It looks like the passenger side front is spraying a small amount of brake fluid out when braking from behind the caliper at the attachment point of the brake line and the caliper.

Thoughts?
