Back Brake Leak, but not from caliper.
This is a 5 lug GXL. Where will the fluid leak from on a caliper? I have to add brake fluid every 2 weeks. I thought my back caliper was blown, but I took off my tire and noticed the actually fluid line comes in at the top of the caliper, and the leak coming from the horizontal line that has a bunch of spring **** on it. the leak seems to be coming from that spring comjunction right there. My back brake pads are trashed also, but she still stops great,(due to brand new front calipers, rotors and pads.) Anyways, I know back calipers are super expensive, so can someone answer this question. What if I just somehow clamp the line so that it wont work at all, so this way I wont lose fluid or trash my rotor. 3 disc brakes are enough isnt it?

The horizontal line has no fluid in it. Thats a parking brake cable.
For the love of god don't disconnect the caliper, The first time you slam on the brakes the **** will spin around.

the rear ones are the about the same price as the front. DO NOT CLAMP LINE!
check to make sure you bleeder screw is tight, clean everything off and try to figure out where it's comming from.
