Recently I did an ahc flush, I just noticed some fluid in the driveway and discovered that the height control actuator bleed valve was leaking from the threads. I snug it up and it seemed to help, but it seems like its still leaking a bit. I'm not sure if I should keep an eye on it or replace the nipple, I would assume I would lose all the fluid and need to bleed the air if I replace the nipple? Maybe theres something to temporarily seal the threads?

Get an OEM cap first. Fixed it for me. There’s another thread out there where someone experienced the same
For sure always keep rubber caps on all bleeders. But cap will not stop a weep. Torque bleeder to spec. If still weeping. Sung a "Hair" more!
Accumulator (long cylinder) bleeder to 61 INCH-lbf. Be careful here. This bleeder is different than all others on vehicle. It has a thinner wall, and breaks off easily.
Actuators (globes) bleeders to 73 INCH-lbf.
If still weeping, replace with correct OEM bleeder.

Thank you, I’ll try this because I did toss the caps. They were looking sad. I do believe it’s leaking from the threads but I should get caps regardless
