Re: 1991 Cutlass Supreme ABS light

After bleeding the brakes today, the ABS light stopped flashing, but it's still on. Now I have a couple more questions though.

1. Beside the fuel filter there is a brake line junction block. It has one line coming in and 2 out. It also has a 19mm bolt(?) screwed into it. This "bolt" (for lack of a better term) has a small hole machined into it, and when the brakes are applied, a little bit of brake fluid will come out of this hole. Now I know that fluid should not be leaving the system, but I have no clue what this "bolt" could be for, or why it would have the hole in it. Any ideas?

2. While driving, sometimes when I first apply the brake pedal to stop, the red brake warning light will come on for a little less than a second. I presume this is not normal. I know the brake fluid level and parking brake can trigger the red light to come on. What else does it?

3. When checking out the rear brakes, I found that the calipers did not squeeze the discs when operating the brake pedal with ignition OFF. With ignition ON, the calipers did squeeze. Is this normal?

4. The driver side rear rotor does not turn as freely as the passenger side rear rotor, even with the parking brake fully released and adjusted out. What might be the cause of this?

Thanks all.
