How do you know if a caliper can be rebuilt?
I took off the offending caliper and fluid appears to be running from around
one of the pistons.
Also...
what works to get brake fluid off of everything ot leaked onto down there?
Thanks...it looks like my Saturday has been planned out for me by the MB
Repair gods.

Well now...after having sat 48 hours or so, after having braked wicked
hard to miss the 18 wheeler, I go out this morning and there is a puddle
of brake fluid under the passenger rear wheel and a nice rivulet of fluid
flowing towards the door...wrinkling up the garage floor coating (which
was suppose to be impervious to brake fliud).
Get i better get the thing up on the stands and check 'er out.
I replaced the lines last year. Suppose it's caliper rebuild time?
