    Front brake leaking fluid

    Here is a strange one. One of my front calipers started leaking fluid once it got cold. The bike hasn't been run in about 1.5 months. I rebuilt the calipers over the summer and they have been fine all summer. Seems like it happened when it got cold. Amy thoughts?

    The leak appears to be where the rubber boot (new) mates up to the caliper.

    I would not think the cold would affect the seals, did you assemble the rebuild using brake fluid if so is it some that has stayed in the boot after assembly, was the piston unmarked or was there any sign of pitting on the surface? Are you seeing the master cylinder level drop?
