PLEASE HELP! Brake Calipers Oozing out...
So I was changing my brake pads, (please ignore my botchy job on trying to make my calipers red... lol), and the upper bolt's dust boot started to ooz this out. I dont know what it is, is it brake fluid? its not fully liquid, more cream like. It only keeps oozing out if I try to pull back the dust boot on it just a little bit. I dont know what to do or what caused this? Please help.. thank you

Might be a good ideal to relube the slider pins, only get silicone based brake lube, take those pins out clean it up and apply the new silicone lube on it.

 Sorry it's just too funny, I'll tell you the answer after I poke fun of what you said. Your Google-fu is weak young grasshopper. It's totaled. Don't drive it. You risk overheating the hydroacclator and blowing up. It's right under your nuts. But don't worry I'll buy that death trap for $200 and a six pack. Ok that enough of that I'll be nice. It's fine, your 100% safe to keep driving it. All that goo is lube for the slider pin. Eventually you should replace the rubber boot and re lube it up. But you can get away with it for a few 50k miles. Or none at all. Your call, flip a coin or see how much time and effort you want to spend on it. Awe yeah, I love/hate this community. Always a good read.
