Hmm. 86 505 broken bleed screw..Let me guess ..Bendix front caliper,
all aluminum without a hint of anti seize from the factory
somebody aught to be forced to eat the damn things. I've got a half
dozen of them with busted bleeders.My recomendation is to get some used
ATE-Girling calipers at least you can heat up the bleeders and have a 50-50
chance of getting them out.
In so far as the fluid loss goes looking should soon reveal the answer
