today i finished installing my 300zx caliper so when i try to bleed the brakes, the fliud starts to leak from the threads of the bleeder screw. Is this normal or something is wrong...

remove teh bleeder screw and put a few turns of teflon tape on the threads that will keep it from leaking

Have you tried to tighten them down a bit more?
