Mystery Brake Caliper Leak, What Caused It?
I came out on a cold winter morning to find a puddle of brake fluid under the right front tire of my 2005 Honda Element. Upon further inspection, I found the caliper leaking from the piston. In this video I explore the possible causes of this leak as I dissect this caliper.
Thank you for watching!
