Use the highest of the two (because air rises to the highest point).
Why are there two nipples?
I'd guess because that way they can use the same casting for either side and there would be a nipple at the high point no matter the orientation...but that's just speculation.

I would say that a leaking caliper means new caliper I just had mine replaced on my FB at Midas for $200 or so. I just had the brakes done at a regular mechanic, then a couple months later, my caliper crapped out on me. Don't run on it if you want your pads to last more than a couple months.
