Hi,
I followed the advice given in the brake fluid flush tutorial and all went fine except when i did the front passenger side wheel. I loosened it and when pumping the brake no fluid came out. I got my wife to press the brake while i loosened the bleed nut further and later realised some fluid was leaking from where the thread of the bleeder inserts into the caliper. I tightened the bolt back up again and the brakes feel a bit spongier than before, maybe some air got in i'm not sure. I went for a test drive and it was a bit wet but the abs still kicked in and i came to a stop pretty quick. The brake peddle touches the bottom though.
Since the car can still brake alright just with a bit more travel should i leave it? What can i do about this? Also i guess bleeding the last front passenger side wheel should i just leave it as it is now or is there something i can do?

remove the bleed nozzle. look at the base below the thread and you will see a small hole in the side. clear the hole with a needle /wire, check it by blowing thru from the front side. (wipe it clean 1st)
