Question BrakeBleeder Question?

Hey everyone. Bled my brakes recently and noticed a leak from the front bleeder valve. Any suggestions? Will I have to re-bleed the brakes again if the bleeder has to be removed? Thanks for any info...

Did ya tighten it enough? Sometimes they need a little extra after breaking them loose the first time. Unlikely, but a little piece of something may have come loose and is keeping it from seating right. Yes you will have to re-bleed if you take it all the way out. hope this helps.
