400ex Leaking Brakes?

[phireboi]

My back breaks are leaking brake fluid out of the actual brake not the brake lines and they don't work at all now I have no idea how it happened but I put more brake fluid in it and it just leaks right out......Anyone know the problem?

Just by a new rotor for it!!!!!(Joke) On the rotor their is a little screw to bleed the brakes maybe thats just unscrewed or completely screwed out.If its not that try the bolt that holds the brake line to the rotor.:D

The rotor is the dics that the pads rub onn when braking. You are describing the caliper, which is what the pads are mounted to.

phireboi,

I think you need to rebuild the caliper. I'm not sure what all is involved with that but on a minimum you will probably need new seals for the caliper piston.
