Brakes leaking After autox

[Edgar702]

Hi guys , I just Autoxed for 2 straight days first day was easy 2nd day was more aggressive and after a few hot laps the calipers leaked a bit , could it be from the oem fluid or a piston seal problem ? Brakes still work good just a few drips on both front calipers

Couple questions you can answer your to yourself. Did you ever have the brakes serviced anywhere other than ford? Are you still within warranty? If you said no then yes, this can be covered by warranty. Just don’t mention the auto x.

When I first got my car I had the same issue. The dealer said it’s a known issue to have improperly installed crush washers from the factory.

The car has only 5600 miles never serviced anywhere except one oil change , I'm going to take it to dealer

Possible that the brake fluid got hot and boiled out past the seals. Best to take it to the shop.

Probably don't want to mention the part about autocrossing. Let them look at without any preconceived notions. It might just be defective.

Clean the tire residue from your fenders before you go to the dealer.

Swap out to the GT350 brakes while you there... replace instead of fixing lol.

Seriously though hope it's a quick process with the dealership.

Your brakes are not leaking. The loctite on the bolts have melted causing that residue.

Spray it with some brake clean. You’re fine.
