break help.

Passenger side rear has a fluid leak. Line is ok. All bolts are tight. Looks like it's leaking from the e brake unit but it is really hard to tell. Could i have a bad caliper back there?

yeah theres a teflon ring and an Oring that the parking brake ratcheting arm has that can leak...but thats only for integral parking brake calipers, W body's dont have integral parking brake calipers for the most part, most use a drum brake in the rotor hat with a mechanical piston.

its possible its coming from the piston seals and its draining towards the parking brake

Looks like they switched to an integral 2005. This is the autozone replacment caliper:

VS the Post 96 and Pre 04

At 10:30 you will hear a lunch truck horn. This signals the beginning. Walk out to the truck and buy a snack. Keep an eye on your watch and go back to work at 10:45.

But what about the leak?





New caliper on. So far everything looks good.
