I may be getting overly **** about this residual fluid in the bleeder cap... Not sure, but I'll keep an eye on it.
I swapped out all of my bleeders with the speed bleeders. They all fit fine and bled fine. After I bed the brakes in one cycle I cooled them off with a highway drive and came home. Noticed a little residual fluid in the front caps.. nothing leaking out or dripping - but definitely blue brake fluid in the cap.. and I can dab the bleeder hole with a rag and soak up a drop.
I did check them and dried everything off after I bled them.. and used new caps on all.. so I know there was no fluid to start.
Possibly some fluid too far down in the bleeder to soak up before I started the drive around bed-in process?? I hope this is all it is. Fluid too far down to clean up - works it's way out into the cap... I'll just keep an eye on it and see what happens.
..I have never really paid this close attention to residual fluid in the caps post-bleed on my standard brakes.
