Probably because its been sitting around for so long :heart:
One of the 6 pot calipers is leaking fluid --maybe a warranty job?
Any one else have this experience and what was the remedy ?
(another thing to pull off, fix up and put back on ):sad:
 
Have had the occasional piston 'stick' to its O-Ring & distort it enough to leak after a long storage period, you might get away with removing the brake pad from the relative piston side of the caliper, then pack the non leaking pistons , then pump the pedal to stroke the culprit piston further out & back in with a G-Clamp. That might allow the O-Ring to return to its original shape/position, but it could also be faulty on assy, & twisted or chipped.....
