1. Did you pressure test the system prior to reassembly?2. Check the coolant level in the tank, could be too high.3. Pressure test it now and see if the leak gets worse.If you actually see a drip on the end of the bleeder, that could be it, otherwise you can be easily fooled about the source(check #2 above, as well as the coolant tank cap). I never open the bleeders so I cannot comment about them leaking as a common issue or not.The only time I have ever had a leak after a t/belt job was when I did not pressure test it, then found the water pump gasket had a nick in it (I may have created the nick, not sure). It was not a good day. I NEVER reassemble a timing belt without a pressure test, after learning the hard way.Regards,LarryB
