After replacing my wife's pads and rotors, all 4, the brake light went on after the first day that she drove it. I suspected the worse but just after adding a bit of fluid the light went out. That seemed odd though, the fluid level was fine when I finished and one should not need to add fluid as I did not open any of the hydraulics. Just compressing the front piston and doing the Allen screw on the back to compress those.
Anyway, the light came back on after several days and I investigated and found that the drivers side rear was leaking. But only when in use, there was no spots under the car just in the inner wheel. Also there is no wetness noticeable from the outside.

Again, I did not open any hydraulics ...
So, has anyone have seen this. Seems the caliper is leaking and should be replaced? Am I missing something?
