Thanks for the detailed response. I pulled the MC off of the car put it back on the bench and cleaned it well with brake cleaner. I think you are correct in that there was a leak from elsewhere and the fluid creeped into crevices and slowly seeped out from a completely different area than where the leak originated.
I swapped over to some bonded crush washers that seal on all banjo bolts, retorqued and so far so good. The lid on the MC was also loose, so anyone using a Baer Remaster needs to do a check on the lid bolts as well.
Thanks for the insight on the spacer bullet. I specifically asked that question to Baer and they never provided a clear answer. I suspect part of my issues with bleeding the brakes are that the rod on the boost unit is not fully stroking the MC. I am going to give it another go tonight after work and will follow up.
