Brake fluid weeping - front caliper bleed screws

After completing the ABS service, carefully following the great guide posted on this forum, all seems ok apart from some slight fluid weeping at the base of both front brake caliper nipples.

I did not use a torque wrench (9nm) and am pretty sure they were not over (or under) tightened, so what have I done wrong? Is it just a case of replacing the bleed screws or something more serious?

Thanks in advance for any feedback/help.

Ian

It could be the residual fluid left inside the bleeder screw after bleeding / flushing the brake system .
