    The problem is is that when I tightened my Bleeder screw to bleed the system it broke off on the top, I tightened it and it doesnt seem to be leeking from anywhere Do you think this will pose a problem or should I just replace it when I need to bleed my system again.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Pry be ok if it's not leaking, but for what that bleeder costs... I'd just buy a new one.

    Pretty much a judgment call as long and your not leaking should be fine good thing is its not pricey.
