Hi guys,

I have completely rebuilt my brakes incl all hard and soft lines.

I had the car on jack stands (what else) for the past 6 months and activated the brakes including parking every 1-2 weeks with firm pressure feel and no leaks whatsoever.

Yesterday I took the car of the stands to turn it around and get it in position to install the engine again.

Everything worked out just fine until I saw this spot underneath the rear right wheel:

Further quick investigation revealed "wet" spots in both trailing arms:

Again, no leaks for the past 6 months until I put the car of the jack stands and pushed/rolled it around for 100ft.

I was pressed for time and only had enough time to take off the rear right wheel to quickly glance at the caliper, which was professionally rebuilt and was dry on the outside.
