So I bought a new front brake, brake light pressure switch from mikes and it's been on the bike for about 3 days and maybe 25 miles and it's already leaking brake fluid from where the Wires come out of the end of the threaded part. It forms a drop really fast when I squeeze the brake lever. Has anyone had this happen to them? Is there a possibility of the end coming off and spraying all the fluid out and losing my front brake pressure?

It could be catastrophic, fix it ASAP.

Also, while Mikes XS has been having problems with their rubber parts of late, check to see if you're using the recommended brake fluid. The wrong fluid type will dissolve all your rubber brake parts.
 
I'm using dot 3. It says that On the cover. Is there something else I should be looking for? Maybe something that doesnt seem like it's hungry for my powdercoat? Haha. Supermoto time til I get another one...
