Default BRAKE NIPPLE LEAKING HELP

My bro has a leak on his 99 civic with b18b swap. It is leaking brake fluid on the brake nipple, where the front passengers brakes are located. What could be the problem? He bled the brake couple weeks ago.

Is the bleeder tight? Otherwise, there could be debris on the bleeder seat.

TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK.

Liquid gasket will not withstand the pressure in the brake system. He may need to remove the bleeder and check for debris at the seat. Do not hit the brake pedal with the bleeder removed.

You need to fix the problem with the bleeder. You are not going to find a sealant that will work. The worst case scenario will require replacement of the caliper.
