    I've noticed my brakes being loose the last few days and ended up looking at my fluid res. And noticed it was half full. Traced it down to pass. Rear tire area. Is the caliper leaking or what? [​IMG][​IMG]

    Looks like it, has it been stopping any different? Should have a spongey feel.

    probably. I would pull the tire off to get a better look at it. And get a rebuild kit for the caliper, its probably just a seal, that needs replaced.
