4 pot front caliper leaking !!
Hi all, today i have changed my front discs and pads on the scooby. The job went smooth although my right front caliper is weeping fluid from the bottom half where the two castings meet where the 2 14mm bolts hold the 2 halves together.
Is this a common prob ? Is it an easy fix ? Has anyone got a pic of a caliper in 2 halves to put on this thread so i can see what i need to buy etc ?
On a seperate issue, the anti squeal shims are a funny shape arnt they, i thought someone had attacked them with tin snips until i saw all the shims were uniform in shape.

The seal kits i have seen on ebay are just for the 4 pistons and not for the casing.
Does anyone know the part number of a complete seal kit with casing seals etc ?

I think there just a standard O-ring. Measure id, od and thickness. You can buy an O-ring kit fairly cheaply.
