alcon brake leak at caliper

I have a leak coming from my right front caliper on the ROUSH ALCON brake package.

It appears to be coming from the outside bleeder valve.

I haven't taken the wheel off to look at it, but anyone else have this problem?
should just be a simple wrench and tighten, but not 100% sure yet??????

Also, since the hot fluid leaked all over the RED painted ROUSH logo, it melted the paint off. Any ideas on what paint to use to repaint the ROUSH logo on the Caliper?

thanks for your help!

if it has been leaking from the bleeder screw, i would bleed the brakes to make sure no air has entered the system.

but to answer your first question, yes, start by tightening up the bleeder valve.

I had to tighten my left front outer because it did the same thing when it got hot at Sebring.
