Hmmm. Yeah. The bleed nipple doobry is quite useful. Wonder why they got rid of it.
Anyhoo. There are a couple of places where your brake can spill a bit of fluid and not completely stop working.
i - bleed port. Check it's tight. Torque it to spec as per the manual.
ii - hose entry. Check it's tight, torque it to spec if possible. It might be that when they shortened the hose they didn't use new fittings which can sometimes result in leaks. If this is the case there's little you can do until you get somewhere that has new fittings and can do a bleed.If it's leaking from anywhere else - piston, caliper join - failure is usually more dramatic and immediate.

that is what I thought, piston + seal failure would have been instantly noticeable. I will just keep an eye on it and not squeeze too hard (glad its the rear tbh). fittings should have all been new so unsure what could have gone wrong. will take it back to mud dock next week. thanks for advice!

sooooooooooo back to mud dock I went. Mechanic was ever so apologetic, tried to bleed again but confirmed there is a fault. Madison are taking it back under warranty and I am getting a new caliper. Unfortunately I guess this will take some time :( no bici
