Default RE: leaking bleeder...what now?

Problem solved at PepBoys, I bought a set of "speed bleeders", under the HELP brand of auto parts, sold in the section of the store that has all the small parts to retrofit your vehicle doors, windows, etc... Other auto part stores have HELP parts, but didn't carry this specific part number.

Part number 12701 fits perfectly. Thread size 3/8"-24, 1.19" overall length. This package was labeled as "One person brake bleeder", but every other size says speed bleeder. It has a little check valve inside so you can bleed system without having to close bleeder at each application of brake pressure. Which may be why the stock goes bad. I pulled of the old, it has lots of rust on the threads, seat seemed OK. No leaks with new part!! Oh, bit pricey, $10 for two, you'll need two packages for front and back.

Only problem is nipple is smaller than OEM, therefore the rubber cap won't fit, so for those of you who need large nipples... I usedVACUPART part number 47393 which is a vacuum line cap, looks better than oem, Pepboys again.
