Nothing to worry about, have you squeezed the lever whilst upside down or pushed the pads/pistons back in a long way when doing anything to them? If the levers feel soft they may need a bleed/top up in the reservoir.

Usually just excess fluid trapped above the diaphragm being expelled, not normally anything to worry about unless it's continuous, in which case it's likely to be a punctured diaphragm, cheap and easy to replace.

Pretty easy, just follow the instructions you get with the bleed kit, no voodoo magic required.

If no one else gets round to it, i'll think of an Ali G joke later.
Actually stuff it, everythings there, do it yourselves ๐Ÿ™‚
