[Shotimes] More brakes woes!!

If it hasn't been mentioned before, make sure that you have a new crush
washer installed on either side of the banjo bolt that holds the brake
line to the caliper.

Subject: [Shotimes] More brakes woes!!


I bought a 93 MTX in October. All new back brakes - rotors, calipers,
caliper brackets, pads, etc. I knew it needed pads when I bought it,
found the drivers rear caliper boot busted, leaking brake fluid, this
lead me to just replace all the back brakes for peace of mind.

Know, approximately 4,000 miles later, the drivers rear is leaking
again. I have not looked, but seems like the same issue. The brake light
is on(which leads me to another questions later). It seems at times that
this brake does not disengage, or that it is always braking, as I get
some squeaking from it occasionally.

Anyway, does anyone know what would cause this issue? Can it be getting
too much pressure? If so, why would the fronts not be doing the same?
Could the emergency brake cable be causing this? I know that the brake
light comes on if the emergency brake is on, is this the only thing that
will set the light? Will low brake fluid set the light?

Any help is appreciated....
