[Roadsters] 68 brake calipers - leak

[Larry Dziuba]

Hello Everyone,  There has always been poor performance from my front disc 
brakes.  I pulled the passenger side and found one pad was wet and would not 
come out without some force.  It looks like brake fluid saturated it.  I 
could not see any brake lines that were leaking.  I then pulled the piston. 
It appeared to be wet inside the dust boot.  I could not see any tears or 
even marks on the seal or any scratches on the cylinder wall.  I did put in 
brake kits about 5 years ago but have minimal miles on the roadster.  The 
lines have been bled a number of times over the years.  Could the seal leak 
without a tear.  It looks good.  Puzzled.  PS: the caliper is still thick 
enough.  Larry.
