Compressed Piston=Leaks

[Uber E30]

So basicly while i was changing my front rotors/pads i compressed the piston on the drivers side and i saw some brake fluid leak out from somewhere above me. (i was under the car at the time) It wasnt a whole lot, maybe 2-3 teaspoons but it still worries me. I did the passenger side first and it didnt happen. Didnt see it leaking anything after the initial gush. Should i be concerned?

Yes. Shouldn't leak anything at all. Test again and figure out if it's the line or caliper.

well it didnt come from the caliper/piston itself, it came from somewhere up in the engine area. If i were to guess i would say in the neighborhood of the PS reservoir.

You didnt take any fluid out of the reservoir, so when you pushed the pistons back in, the fluid level rose and would have pushed fluid out. Take the cap off, I bet you find its full.

should have had your cap off while compressing pistons. Air has to go somewhere too, make sure you didn't blow off hose to clutch master cylinder.

What this means is that it is now time to flush your brake fluid.

2 years max on that shit, y'know.

Now, since you were a retard and got dripped on by your overfull master cylinder, get revenge by changing that fluid. You will feel so much better...
