Uh-oh
I noticed some fluid on the shop floor the other day. Here's what I found.
Looks like a seal on the caliper popped. Well, that rebuild lasted about 11 years so that's not too bad.

Looks like a brake issue for sure.
What did you use to rebuild with? Its been several years since I rebuilt my calipers with the O-Ring kit and have been entertaining the idea of tearing into the calipers again so I can powder coat them.

I just used a standard parts store seal kit. These calipers have been abused at a number of track days as well so I'm plenty happy with how long they were in service. The fluid has always been kept fresh. I've got some new parts to put on. I'll post a photo of those once the camera battery recharges. It's something along the lines of Z06 and aluminum...
