Default Help: Leak problem...

I've got a moser 12 bolt in my 01ta. There seems to be a leak near the brake caliper on the passenger side which is leaking on my rotor and the inner part of my wheel. I'm not sure if the seal/bearing on the axle is jacked up and needs replacing or if the caliper is screwed up. It looks like it's been leaking for quite some time. Does anyone have any advice? I can provide pics if it would help out. I was thinking I would just replace whatever is wrong with the axle, but if it's not the problem then no need to waste money on it when it should be spent on a caliper or something. Any ideas?


Thanks,
Billy

How sure are you? How much are the parts (to include fluids, seals, etc) and where do I get them from?

I'm located in Germany so it's a little harder to get parts from shops here.

I am totally sure that's what it is.

i have no idea what parts in germany cost, but here you'd be looking at a $10 seal, and a new compliment of fluid, some RTV and that's it.
