The right front has brake fluid coming out, but not shooting out like the back does.
I had a vac leak, but I used black gasket stuff and that is solved.
So, What the H3LL am I to do now? Even the mighty vac doesn't seem to help. And my hand hurts from trying. Is ther a way to get the vac to blow instead?
I can feel the air sucking and blowing on my finger if I hold it over the screw.
YES there is a full front chamber on the res, I pumped it up with the little pump on the top of the res. If I can feel the air sucking and blowing, see a small bit of fluid blow out of the screw, then there is not a blockage.
I am loath to take it all off again, I'd lose the gasket I made.
What can I do, please help! Thanks to all!

Pull the bleeder screws and make sure they are not clogged up with corrosion and gunk. Pressure bleeding is the best wich is easy with 2 people but the bleeders can't be plugged up.
