Default It's always something (78 Caliper spew)

I replaced the calipers with SS Sleeved ones about 3 years ago. Last year I even had them off to replace the front coil springs and no problems.

Last night looking under the car and the inside right front wheel is covered with brake fluied (silicone) and the caliper is spewing. Last week I had a coolant leak out of the upper radiator hose at the thermostat I had to fix.

This is an easy fix, but why? I've been driving the car quite a bit lately too. Bummer...

Joe, I know just how you feel. My right rear just started leaking. I have had no luck with calipers on my vette so now I bought them from Auto Zone and never have to pay for them again. My left rear is from Auto Zone and been on the car for three years with no problems, yet. :seeya Good luck.
