Having some brake issues

[CGCBandit]

Hey folks, a few weeks ago, I had my rotors/calipers up front replaced. I'v noticed while standing still at a light(or stop sign), the car rolls ever so slightly(like they're not holding) Now today when I changed the oil I was looking at things under the car, and noticed a few small spots of brake fluid on the inside of my right front tire, and a bit of fluid where the rubber hose goes into the caliper. Is there some sort of o-ring there, where the hose goes in? I looked at the line and it didn't looked cracked. I'm guessing this fluid loss is resulting in my slight roll issue. The driver side looks ok, all dry, could it be that hose is leaking, or the master cyl.?

Ugh, the fun never stops with the ol' thirdgen

Sounds like whoever replaced the calipers.... goofed...

Either the hose is damaged & leaking or it's not tightly screwed into the caliper. Or, something else like the bleeder screw is leaking. Either way........it's THEIR resposibility!

BIG NOTE ....................

If brake fluid got on the pads & rotors, they MUST be replaced!!!


Good luck with it,

Thanks for the info, someone on another board also said to check the crush washers that seal the banjo fitting to the caliper.....ugh.

make sure they replace the brass sealing washers too i tried to get cheap on mine that definately caused a leak

The leak is one thing.....

You are probably having a hard time holding the car stopped because the pads have brake fluid on them.


Take it back to the shop & have it fixed as well as new pads & cleaned rotors.
