Found a puddle around the left rear tire this morning


At first thought it was freon leaking from AC but it is infact brake fluid which appears to be leaking from a seal around the ebrake spring.

I am going to replace the rear calipers and hoses but never seen this happen before on the 5th gen.

Idk bro check the diff fluid and see if there is any in there tbh that greenish hue looks like gear oil to me
 












Never heard that before, but first time for everything.
Just a comment, if you got air in the master cylinder, I think you need to be able to cycle the ABS module to purge that as well when you bleed the system.
I read that on the internet, so it must be true.
 






My only suggestion is to get the new caliper from ford. The remanufactured calipers from any auto part store are junk and you may end up repeating the job (ask me how I know)
