  • leaking brakes

    no big deal, I don't think...at least not yet. I decided to get her on jackstands and do some cleaning on her underside, exhuast, wheelwells and rims...when I took off the passenger rear rim and starting cleaning, I noticed gunk buildup on the inside, definately brake fluid. I inspect the calipers and assemblies and everything looks fine. BUT, where the e-brake line meets the drum assembly, the rubber gorment is falling apart, and most of the brake-gunk is there. I thought the e-brake was a machanical linkage. I think the caliper has failed too. I can wiggle it by hand. Can a caliper leak?

    What does all of this sound like to y'all...? Think my whole rear needs an overhaul? My braking is just-okay...a lil spongy, but I can stop well.
