I thought these things were supposed to leak fluid out ,

However the one on my 190 3.6 requires bleeding on a daily basis .

Any ideas , anyone ?

Those fittings have to be directly fitted on the cylinder but in your case, one thread is parallel and the other slightly tapered. I would try some layers of Teflon thread tape on the male fitting towards the hose end.
