Leaking Front Caliper Seals?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Well, today I had my oil changed(sample sent to Blackstone) and brakes bled, did get some bubbles out of the fronts. Unfortunately it's been found that my front caliper seals are leaking. 10,000km no track days, spirited driving only. Worth the hassle of trying to claim warranty? Or just get it done myself?

Your call. They're pretty easy to rebuild.


However, it's pretty uncommon to see a seal leak, especially with such low mileage. There might be a bigger problem lurking underneath. If you're still under warranty, have the dealer handle it.

This.

There is a warranty for a reason. Use it.

what reason do you have to not use the warranty for an obvious manufacturer defect?

I work a crazy crazy schedule and finding time to goto the dealership is next to impossible.

i know how that works. call ahead, can probably get a loaner set up, sometimes can do after-hours drop-off and pickup--i end up doing this all the time with places, as i never make weekday hours...
