Pull the bleeder out completely. Make sure the threads and seating surface is clean. Also inspect both points on the caliper (carefully use a Q-tip for the caliper). If it still leaks, you shouldn't have any problem finding a new bleeder at schucks, napa, etc....

I almost forgot, try spraying a little brake cleaner through the bleeder too.
