Hey people,
so as im driving the other day my break lights went on and after checkin the break fluid tank and topin it back to normal the light was gone until after of couple of hard breakings the next day. so as i was checkin the callipers i found out that the rear passenger side's tire wall is all oily and there is a good amount of oil inside the rim and around the calliper .
i really havnt had the time to put the car on the jack yet .. hopefully this weekend but before hand what do u guys think ??! what should i be lookin at ?
if its not the break line what else could it be ?

start out with a brake hose and check the female end of the caliper to make sure everything lokos alright

 

it could be the nozzle where u bleed the brakes from. make sure that is tightened. it has a rubber cap on it in most cases.

 

worst case is u need a new caliper, (they leak at the piston) not too hard to change. if u know how to change brakes and bleed them then u know how to change the caliper. dont forget these are screw in type pistons in the back..in other words screw them in at the same time ur pushing in on them.

 

tanx for the replies people ..
i have taken the callipers out before to paint them and i have bleeded them before aswell but i have never changed one ! nwayz im not too good with break systems , it was leaking too much today so i took out the wheel and cleaned the oil and breaked a couple of times and i found out where the leak is commin from ..
the leak is from underneath the big spring that has a metal black cover on top of it ..
the main break line comes in to the back of the calliper and goes right into the spring ..
so i still dont know what it is exactly but i guess if it was the calliper itself it wouldnt leak from the spring ???! right ?

 

i found the diagram of the break system and i have circled where the leak is comming from!

do i have to change those parts or is there a way to fix the leak ?
help me out people .. i really cant afford a mechanic right now !!tanx
