Leak on caliper (photo) Whats this mean? (Page 1/1)

I drove to the store and the brakes felt oddly weaker. After getting out of the store and driving home I had about 10% breaks. There was a bunch of fluid on my wheel and I took off the wheel and have a photo of the caliper. It seems to be leaking right on the underneath inside part of the caliper. Is this mean the Pistons bad? The person I bought it from says the brakes were rebuilt and I just bought it about a month ago.

The house connector bowl is perfectly dry so it’s coming out from the bottom area. Photos:



What would this be?

From text... Sounds like piston seal is bad but could be other things causing that. If rear piston, piston assembly can be bad.
See my Cave, Rear Piston notes etc.
