Yea after reading about it, I seen the brake caliper requires neoprene o-rings, the ones we have here at the shop are really for hydraulics, so I guess I will be buying a couple of those seal kits, thanks for the link.

 

Well BadDogBiker, I guess you didn't feel like responding to the 3-4 people who were asking you about the caliper halves Bolts? One even went to the Trouble to post a pic with "mark-ups".


EDIT: that was fast
.

 

It is the #1 bolt on the curbside caliper. I don't remember loosening it, but I was going to separate it and clean both halves up real good and bleed them. Hoping that fixes it.

 

I have been checking this post every day, The posts aren't even 24 hrs old. Lighten up will ya?

 

I don't remember loosening them as the caliper mounting bolts are a 12-point bolt and the bolts that hold the caliper together are hex head bolts. Going to try and separate both calipers and clean them up real good after talking to a riding buddy who said there could be an air pocket in the caliper prohibiting the pads from setting right.

 

Well "Technically" ... this one is 4-1/2 days old ... But good job responding

 

That is near the brake line fitting. My fear is that you cracked the caliper by over-tightening those bolts. You should never have any leaks from just doing pads unless the piston(s) was over-extended. The halves of the caliper don't need to be separated to change pads. Air in the caliper won't cause a leak either.

You're going to need to clean the area thoroughly and pinpoint the location of the leak. Shouldn't be too difficult to do.

 

I will know more on Saturday when I get some time and daylight to check it. I don't have a garage and it's dark when I get home.

 

Ever resolve this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing after doing my front brakes. Right front caliper has a slow drip from either the pistons or the halves.
