Brake fluid leak......
I came home after a few hours of playing pool to a puddle of fluid under the drivers side rear wheel. Will jack that corner up in the morning and because it hasn't been moved should be able to see the exact leak. This will be the first problem since my purchase last November. I can hardly wait. Joe.

Chances are its a caliper. Unless its obvious, I would wipe everything down and then look for a leak. Perhaps you can have someone step on the brakes and you'll be able to see where its coming from. Its also a good idea to keep the master cylinder full, no sense getting air in the line.

Sounds as if everyone is right. If the car is driven not very often the style of seal on the brake caliper piston will leak. If you want to fix this once and for all you will need to replace the calipers with the new o-ring design. I believe there is a double o-ring designed that is designed for extreme or racing duty.
