    Having recently done an f4i front end swap on my vtec,i used f4i callipers which i refurbished.I have a problem where brake fluid seems to slowly leak out of the threads on the bleed nipples(both callipers incidently)not out the hole.I think if I tighten them any more I will strip the threads.The nipples are new stainless ones ,correct threads from pro bolt.any ideas?

    are the calipers cracked at the bleeders??
    you could try plumbers tape to seal the treads but never heard of having to do that.
    I would try to tighten them up more or go back to non SS type
