Calipers leaking???

I noticed that my calipers are leaking brake fluid...not from the brake line or the bleeder....so I think the seals are leaking.....

Anyone know of a rebuild kit for C6 GrandSport/Z06 brakes???

Do I need to replace pistons too? or just seals...

The seals only should do the trick. When you rebuild, take note of any scoring in the pistons and/or bores. If they leak after new o-rings, then you can chase other options.
