Theres not some overspill of something under the hood that keeps getting reapplied when the hood gets put back?
seager-
Can you provide a reference?
I inspected it becasue the lever was reaching the handlebar only 3 weeks after having fitted it and bled it. So I thought of adjusting the "free stroke". When I undid the hood cover it was oil everywhere, cleaned it and then pumped a few times. Not sure oil is supposed to leak every time you brake.
Anyway, it's coming off and going back to Merlin. Annoyingly they would not send a new one on the basis of the video I sent them, which means I bought a new one from Evans, to avoid having to wait 2w for a replacement one.

I am certain.
This diagram confirms as well that the cap with the allen key is the bleed cap.
The point it is leaking from is not mentioned in any diagram I've seen, so I don't know it's function.
