Brake fluid leak from caliper

Kamillio

You might be right. I use RBF 600. I bled the brakes before myself and never applied any Teflon, etc. though. It's possible someone did it before me?

I just thought maybe the fluid boiled or something and then changed color. I'm quite confused what that was.

Even if the fluid had boiled it should not leak out like that. I think it must have been some Teflon thread sealer leaked out from the threads area. The fluid is sealed from a tapered seat, the threads have nothing to do with sealing the fluid. Sometimes people put a teflon sealer on the threads so when vacuum bleeding you can get a better idea of when all the air is out, without it you can suck air in around the threads and back out the bleeder port, it won't enter the caliper it just makes it hard to judge when all the air is out of the system.

I say clean it off and see how the pedal feels. The fluid your using should be sufficient for track use I would think.
