Was looking into detailing my car since the rain has stopped here and noticed that there was break fluid on the inside of my rim. Took the rim off and there is fluid all over the rotor, pads, caliper, etc. There was a noticeable amount on the inside of the caliper. Any ideas what would cause this? Car doesnt sit - DD. Have a cutout that is somewhat aimed at the rear axle. Would that cause it to get hot enough to make it leak? Had a guy tell me that after he looked at it. Any information would be helpful.

Possible caliper piston seal. Probably time for an overhaul( calipers and hoses)

Well took it to the shop and they said that the axle seal was bad. Had both of them replaced and good to go now. Thanks for the insight anyway.

Well I didnt know the difference. Saw that it was coming from the caliper - was still wet - so I figured it was my brake. Guess I was a little wrong hahaha.
