Incredible. I rode them in all conditions, and was totally surprised when I pulled them out and found that they were resin.

I don't appear to have leaky hoses, but also the bleed port/nipple can be replaced with a set screw type fitting. If the XT has that option, swap it out. A friend of mine had the exact same issue and we figured if it wasn't the hose, it is possible the nipple was weeping oil.

It has been a month with no issues.
Looks like the XTR calipers are layed out a bit different than the XT. The XTR bleed port points down where the XT bleed port points upwards. Looks like the bleed screw would fit though so I going to try to source on out.
