i think teflon tape should work on the threads for the bleeder thats leaking.

are you running the stock ecu? what kind of mods do you have? this will help diagnose the hesitation and fluctuation.

Teflon tape is made to seal imperfections in TAPERED pipe threads. Bleeders seal on their ends, metal to metal. Teflon tape is unlikely to resist leakage on straight threads with the kind of pressure (up to 2000 psi) that brake systems generate. You might get lucky and slow it down, but it's not likely to work well.
