Looks as if fluid is leaking from around the thread, and when i say leaking, i mean ever so slightly, the rubber nipple cover seems to just be very slightly wet, i cleaned if off and it has come back.
I read that a guy had the same problems and it was just excess fluid on the thread that worked it's way up and then it stopped after a while.

If it was me id remove it and give it aquick clean and pop it back in,if you get a brake pipe clamp it won't **** fluid out every where,give the hole a blow out as well mate.

LOL soz mate didn't realize,id be having alook at them if it was me as it shouldn't be showing fluid after being bled and cleaned of excess/spilt fluid.
Might be a pulled thread or duff bleed nipple.

Hmmmm, it's slightly odd because all 4 do it, and i haven't ruined all the threads and tapers lol. I really think it's just excess fluid making it's way to the top somehow.
If it persists i think i'll loosen them and have a look. I didn't use a torque rench to tighten them first time around but i know i didn't force them to a point where they would damage, i mean i tightened them, but you know when you are forcing something!

I've noticed this occasionally a while after bleeding various brakes. One thought is that the fluid is hydroscopic (absorbs water) so any fluid hanging around the threads and centre of the nipple will collect water and increase in volume and give the effect you have.

Proper test for leaks as follows:
Run engine so you have servo, stand on brake pedal hard for a minute or two.
Pedal should not move down and then after check round for leaks.

I'll give that a go.

try n get some pics of exactly how much is seeping mate? Clean it off with some brake cleaner and keep an eye on it, if it was a proper leak you'd start to get air in the system which you would begin to notice through your pedal.
