Originally posted by WickedESi In my experience, I've always seen the caliper piston seals fail before a brake line. This is real obvious when it is too, but you just need to pull the wheel, and swing the caliper up to see if the piston boot is puffy (should not be of course). O'Reilly's carries these for our car in stock. If the boot checks out, I'd say it failed where the rubber hose connects to the metal hose end, since that is what is fatigued the most. Also, just make sure and check you don't just have a loose bleeder dino
I think i'd know if it was a loose bleeder, because then there would be fluid on the vcaliper and there is not. it's on the inner fender well, actually surrounding where the hardline meets the flex line.
Odd thing is, i pumped the brakes for a while and nothing dripped.
