you probably pulled the line while replacing the caliper and caused it to leak, a new one should be readily available. either from the dealer or aftermarket

You missed the "SS" part of his original post. He's running after-market stainless brake hoses.

Good point. A bit late, but I will move it to the Modified forum.
