Brake fluid ruined my brembo's!
hey guys! i just did my brake fluid flush and went out for a test drive. i went home and walked the wheels to make sure theres no leak and there it is on the passenger side wheel. a very small leak but enough to lift a little bit of paint on the caliper. my question is do i need to bleed all the brakes again or its fine as it is? the brake still feels good but i dont know if air got in or not. im not even sure if its a leak or just a little bit of run-off when i took the hose off the nipple.

Were your bleeders tight? If so, I would cycle the pedal and recheck for any leaks. If no further fluid is visible and your bleeders were tight, then I wouldn't worry about it.

yes the bleeders where tight. but i still went around and re-tightened everything up. what do you mean by cycling the breaks? does that mean drive the car around for a few days till the fluid circulates?

No, just press on the pedal a few times and then see if there is a leak at that wheel. Forgot to mention, check the fluid level in the reservoir.
