Sorry with the delay of my reply.

Okay sounds like a consensus of calipers expanding around the bleeder valve.

I flushed my brake fluid and it was just fine, didn't cook or burn. Color was almost identical to brand new fluid.

As a side note, my clutch fluid was black...and this is only after 6k miles and 5 track days. Not sure what causes this. Clutch always behaves perfect, synchrorev is a pretty crappy at matching revs on the other hand.

Also, whatever it was that leaked out was super easy to clean off. It was not like you described.
