Like the title says, the place where my hand brake cable attaches to the caliper is leaking. I think the technical name of the part may be the hand brake actuator pin (not sure, but I've heard it used before). Anyways, I'm wondering if a caliper rebuild kit could fix the leak, or a rebuilt caliper could fix the leak, or if this part is sold completely seperately from the calliper. The part leaks fluid if I pump the brakes, or even if I just push the part forwards and backwards (forwards being towards the front of the car). Thanks for any help.

The handbrake is purely mechanical, not hydraulic. If there's fluid leaking out then there's most likely a shot piston seal and the fluid is leaking out a convenient opening. You'll need to get it rebuilt, and you should do them in pairs.
