Default brake bleeder leaking

i have a girder front end with a disc brake system on it. i noticed i was leaking fluid from the bleeder valve. i tightened it up didn't stop leaking.
it has an insert into the caliper and then the bleeder valve. it's leaking from around that insert. what would be the best way to fix this leak
