I removed all my parking brake hose... installed my WB block off.. now i have a problem... oil leak coming between the galiper itself and the block off...

after seeing this..

i removed the block off.. cleaned the galiper and block off surface with brake cleaner, reinstalled the block off and torqued it 1/50 turn before the bolt break... i bought a sealer that i put on the block off surface... still leakin!!! now i don't know what i can know

if thats leakin u need to rebuild ur caliper cuz u shouldnt have fluid comin outta there. silicone will work tho to seal it up...

It is called caliper if you are not joking. And you don't need a new one just get it rebuilt by a shop.

You probably just need to replace the seals.
