Front Caliper leaking after changing pads?
I just changed the brake pads and the curbside caliper is leaking fluid from the top bolt that holds the two halves of the caliper together. Everything went smoothly until I pump to brakes to set the pads, must have pulled the brake lever at least 50 times before I seen the puddle of brake fluid under my tire, the front brakes just never wanted to stiffen up.
Is that a sure sign of a busted seal? Is it repairable for not a lot of money? I really can't afford to buy a new caliper.

I gave you a link to purchase the seal kit. Is that not what you need?
I don't know what kind of o-rings you have in your shop, but you do know that there are many, many different types, sizes and diameters of o-rings and some will react differently to a given fluid? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't take a chance on my brakes by installing a component that's not specifically made for brakes.
