I have Avid Elixir 5's and it seems my front brake over the corse of a few rides builds up a little air in the system and when bleeding I noticed a little fluid come out of the hose that goes into the lever.

So I purchased a lever service kit with various washers and seals and hose connectors though no instructions how to fit them, does anyone have any kind of exploded diagram of what is meant to go were in Elixir levers ?

    tried tightening the hose?

    download the service and exploded views from Srams webby.

    I couldn't find it on the sram webby, also not quite sure how the hose tightens on the lever
