i'd probably advise against blutac, you may end up with bits left behind.  Could you use something more solid?  Depending on size perhaps a cork or one of those tapered stoppers that go in wine bottles.  Or even a screwdriver with some tapered rag wrapped round it - perhaps even finished with insulating tape if you are feeling professional.  All suggestions courtesy of bodgit central!

If there are no weeps leave well alone.

I knew that bleed valve at the top shouldn't of leaked when I undid it.

If that's the biggest mistake made on the whole job not so bad I reckon.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Think I'll leave it parked up with some cardboard under and see if there's any leak evidence, though I suspect if it is going to leak from the bleed valve then it would do so when pressurised.

I'll leave it alone but keep my eye on it. Very happy with the job we did Scott. Having the car back on the road is the main thing!
