My 2023 Panigale V2. After so have the suction hose attached to the bleed nipple, the fluid reservoir is open, I loosen the bleed screw and no fluid is moving into the suction hose. The suction is pneumatic air driven so it’s manually always on. Should be be need for me to pump the brakes. Since there wasn’t any fluid moving into the suction hose, I reached over to the brake lever and started pumping the brake lover. I noticed that brake fluid was gushing out from underneath the bleeder screw and not out into the suction tube. I switched to the opposite side caliper and did the exact same procedure and had the exact same results with the brake fluid leaking under the bleed screw. I then attached the suction hose to the master cylinder itself, and the fluid ran perfectly without me having to even touch the break lover. I then switched also over to the Clutch master cylinder and blood, the clutch mass the cylinder without any problem or any leaks. Finally, I switched to the rear brake master cylinder and blood, the rear brake master cylinder without any problems and without any leaks. Is there something wrong with what I’m doing with the front calipers or is it the Screws that are the problem?
 
I’d pull the 2 x bleed screws out and check if they are just blocked up, give them a clean with brake cleaner
