Leaking Grande Punto Caliper

[GPguy]

I've got a leaking passenger side rear caliper on my Grande Punto. Is this a common fault and if so what goes in the caliper, has it got something to do with the handbrake connections? Can anyone advise before I take a look at it tomorrow in the bright?

The hand brake uses a cable, so that's most likely not the problem. It is probably the piston that's leaking. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the leak, just follow fluid back to the source.

If you're not sure what the problem is, post a photo of the leak.

I'll see if I can't take some photos when I get home.
