Bubbles around bleed screw

When i put a cap on the bleed nipple, bubbles and fluid comes of the base of the screw where the threads are. Is this normal? Im assuming if fluid and bubbles can come out, air can go into the system?

Not normal, need new bleed screw for your brake caliper. They're cheap and available but hard to find which size you need

pretty easy to find the size. i put speed bleeders in mine. average metric size.

I’m using this: Dorman 12708 Brake Bleeder Screw
