Not sure I spelled that right, but the bleeder valve can get clogged if the system hasn't been bled regularly. I had a similar problem on an old 87 9k I have. My caliper started leaking and I had to replace it. In the process, I discovered the bleeder valve was clogged with crud from a long neglected system. (If it ain't broke, why fix it, right? This is why!) The fitting even had a cap on it, but it was still clogged. I ended up fitting a drill bit to the size of the opening, and hand cleaning the crud out. It took a few minutes, but it worked.
I ended up replacing the caliper anyway because I couldn't stop the leak; the plug at the end of the cylinder had failed. Oh, well... Hope this helps you out! -Cal
