Default FAL bolts 'weeping'?

The indy I took my 991.2 to for a brake fluid flush mentioned that the FAL bolts were 'weeping'. Nothing to worry about now but to keep an eye on it.
Has anyone witnessed this? I know these systems are hydraulic.
Worth bringing to the dealer to check out before my warranty is up?

Not sure if its FAL bolts weeping or system itself, it definitely doesn't like the New England cold, as I notice a little of the weeping sound during every winter. Wouldn't hurt to get it checked under warranty.

I recently noticed a little oil/fluid around the bottom of my driver side front strut. Turned out to be a leaking driver side FAL hydraulic system which was replaced under warranty.

Finally got it replaced right before my warranty ran out. SA wasn't sure of the seriousness but did it to be safe....

I believe there was a service bulletin where the bleeder screws were not torqued properly.

Interesting. My 2017 had that done very early on, the banjos were weeping. Just needed a tightening. Can't remember if it was done under a TSB or not, but I remember it like the whole latch problem thing in that it was at least a known failure point.
