Are you sure that it's not residual brake fluid from bleeding? Clean it real good with brake cleaner and recheck. If it's not that then you will have to pull the caliper and see where it's coming from the only thing back there is the piston. And that shouldn't be leaking because you blead your brakes. Maybe you found a problem you didn't know existed.

Sounds like the bleeder adaptor or bleeder threads are shot. Hope it's not the threads in the caliper.

Just another thought also, there are two very small o-rings that are between to two caliper housings, if they are not sealing, or bad or missing that may be where you are getting a leak from as well.

Just be careful to keep it from splattering all over and let it dry.

Cleaned the brakes today and will test tomorrow and will update with results.
Thanks for all the input!

After applying brake pressure, I still get leakage back up inside the caliper so I guess its disassemble time.
