On a P1 the caliper is mounted "upside down". The bleed bolts are usually small diameter cap head bolts - one on each caliper half. You need to dismount the caliper and twist it round so that the cap head bolts are uppermost and bleed each caliper half seperately.

If you don't have a seal kit available it's probably worth stripping it, cleaning it and rebuilding it using fresh brake fluid as they are not prone to failure.

Seal kits are inexpensive - get them from either P1 or KartComponents. The brake system as a whole is inexpensive so it's worth picking up a spare system. (superb syatems by the way !)

ps. is the alfano sensor still working ?
