brake bleeding... your thoughts on this

When I was bleeding the brakes on my car I was figuring there would be air as I know I boiled the fluid on the last track day.

I spent forever on the passenger rear because I kept getting air bubbles. I am pretty sure now, after messing with it, and running a full 32 oz bottle through that the air bubbles were from the bleed srew it self. I think that it was letting air bleed out by sucking it in right at the screw. If that makes sense. I drove the car and it seems fine, better then before.

I took a video of what I was getting. I got this not at first but after about 20-30 seconds of the screw being open. It also did this on EVERY one. I thought it may be an issue with just that one. Keep in mind also that I am using the power bleeder so the open valve is what you do. let me know your thoughts.

It is very common to pull air in around the bleed screw if it is loosened too far during bleeding. If you didnt loosen too far, but it still pulls in air, could be bad threads.
