My disco was pulling badly to left when braking. Changed the copper and flexi pipes as they were in a right state.bled the system now im gettin a drop of what looks like brake fluid on the inner tyre. Only the tyre not the rim so im ruling out hub seal for the minute. Could it be the caliper seal gone n seeping out now. Coz its doesnt pull to left now new suspension and brake line are on. But this leak isnt coming from any new joints.

Any help on this 1 guys

What looks like brake fluid? is it or is it not, and as we in the forum can't see any leaks u will have to tell us where, when u have found it.

Its like a yellow color.and as stated by front wheel.on the tyre itself not the rim.as if it is running down the backing plate for the disc.and drippin on to tyre itself.

Sounds to me like you have a small seep on the seal of the said caliper,,
Might be a good idea to remove the wheel and have a good look,,
But of course it will entail stripping the caliper down if it is leeking,, but its not a big job and you will have piece of mind knowing it has been done correctly.,,,
Oh and :welcome2:

Would it be easier to fit a new caliper then rebuild this 1 as a spare

I'm in the same situation and I'm rebuilding the calliper,unless hubby a brand new one you run the risk of it going wrong or being a duff in the first place.

If you can find another caliper that you know is a good one,,its only an hours job to change it over, just done the exact same thing myself on Monday, and then as you say rebuild the other at your leasure.
Best of luck
