Looks like my left rear caliper has sprung a leak. I haven't gotten a good look at it, but I'm losing brake fluid and there appeared to be some fluid dripping from the brake cable spring, so I'm pretty sure that's the problem. Ordinarily, I'd just replace it and not worry. But reading reviews of rebuilt brake calipers gives me a lot of room to worry. I see many complaints that leaks from the parking brake cable area are common and often rebuilds don't seem to last for more than a few months without springing a leak.
Does anyone know if one brand is better than others? In particular, Advance Auto's Wearever brand (which I think is A-1 Cardone) seems to have awful reviews. Raysbestos reviews I've seen are somewhat better, but not a lot. RockAuto says that AC Delco is a popular choice.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
