Hiya Rob46, welcome to the site. It may be worth while putting your location in your profile just in case someone lives close by you and can help you out with your brake calipers. It doesn't sound as though it is a big problem as it can only be a couple of things that could be the reason for the leaking, I can only imagine that it would be your piston seals (that could be time consuming to fix but isn't too difficult if you've got the kit) or your banjo bolt washers. If you have a good look at where the leak is coming from then I'm sure that someone can point you in the right direction even if it meant buying another caliper as a replacement. If you haven't ridden the bike for a while I'm sure that you could have it up and running/sorted in a few hours. Best of luck.

Hi wheaty, cheers for info will sort soon, caliper is leaking at bottom end when fitted, at split. I'v replaced all the seals inc splitter seals, i know the pistons are not leaking, nor the banjo or bleed screw. I recon its the splitter being thats where the oil is. I'v remove sad old caliper & am going to replace with another & keep fingers crossed. Iv been trying to find out what other bikes use the same calipers, ie fzr 1000. I was fortunate enough to get a new L/H caliper from ebay, Im now hoping for the right side (which is the 1 to replace)
