Darryl, I have had re sleeved wheel cylinders leak from behind the sleeve- at the testing station, on the brake rollers. Customers vehicle. The finish in resleeved bores is usually very good compared to the cast iron and seldom gives trouble. Pictures of the tapered bleeder would help with understanding.
MikeV, this might be a case for stainless sleeves and synthetic brake fluid as ordinary (dot3, dot4) fluid is "hydroscopic" (attracts water) and will in a relatively short time cause trouble. A sealed system would help. That is a master cylinder with a diaphragm in the lid as opposed to a cap with a vent hole in it. (I realise this is not optional) It would be far better for all of your M8 to get a run each month. (brakes, seals, trans, engine etc)
