Side parking tips... . . . . The most important safety system your vehicle has is its brakes, ensuring you can come to a stop in a controlled fashion. But if they aren’t working how you expect them to, it’s possible that there’s brake fluid leaking from the caliper. Identifying the issue and correcting it is crucial so you don’t have to worry about safety. Find out more about what can cause a caliper to leak, ways to identify the problem, and how to correct it. As brake fluid is forced into the caliper when you apply pressure to the pedal, the hydraulic pressure moves the piston or pistons outward. The brake caliper squeezes the brake pads against the brake rotor, and the resulting friction decelerates your car. But keeping the fluid contained within the high-pressure environment of the caliper is crucial, otherwise the brakes don’t work properly. Over years of pressure, use, and exposure to environmental elements, seals can deteriorate and allow leaks. Easy Driving Tips At the first sign of a caliper leak, it needs to be dealt with decisively. When fluid escapes from the caliper, there isn’t enough braking pressure at that wheel, especially for sudden stops or hard applications. It can contribute to an accident, and it’s not safe to drive your car until it’s fixed. Finding and addressing brake fluid leaks begins with identifying any symptoms that start to occur. What you notice will often depend on the severity of the leak but can include: - Brake fluid visible on the affected wheel - The brake pedal sinks slowly to the floor while pressed - Pulling to one side when you apply the brakes - The brake pads are wearing unevenly - Squealing noise when brakes are applied - Brake light on the dashboard As a DIYer, there are a few ways you can help identify a leaking brake caliper on your own. The first, as already mentioned, is to look for an oily fluid on one of the wheels. Another is to check between the wheel spokes, looking for wetness on the caliper and hub. As well, look for any grime building up on the caliper where the brake caliper piston seal is as well as where the hose connects. Any fluid or buildup in these places can indicate a fluid leak. Have a friend press the brake pedal while you inspect as the pressure can help make it clear where the fluid is coming from.
