Leaking Calipers
 
Did an oil & filter change on weekend & whist I had the car up I noticed that the front calipers were stained & had leaked from the pistons. I'm also fairly certain that the reservoir level has dropped a little but has stopped.

Anyone else noticed any piston leakage ? Definitely not normal, have cleaned & will monitor it . . . :/

I think this is a first? Have you ever changed your brake fluids?

No, car is only 5 months & 7K old. It's customary for me to get under the car & check everything, the leaking calipers I noticed immediately & thought f u k me ! I don't abuse the car nor drive it hard really, the brakes never get much use actually as I spend a fair amount of time on the FWY. It's got to be shitty calliper construction or shitty seals :/

Ill have to take a picture on the weekend cause I think I have the same thing. Noticed when washing the car last time.

That's warranty work. Take it in to get it documented.

And fixed. Definite.
