View Full Version : Bad Brake Caliper Piston Seal?

While bleeding the brake system I encountered some fluid leaking from the PS IRS caliper piston each time the brakes were applied. After pulling the caliper it appears the piston seal is leaking (see pic below). Curious if others have encountered this before and whether this is something that can be fixed, or will this require getting a new caliper?

Thanks in advance!

If you can find the seals, repair is fairly straight forward. Some calipers are reasonably priced, so check if its worth the effort. I have found rebuild kits for some from the dealer, so you might check there also! Make sure its a seal and not the puck that could have a score in it
