Re: Oil Leak
Pictures probably aren't needed. A thin film of oil on a backing plate with a drip at the bottom seems normal and not a problem. 8^) Jack E/NJ

Re: Oil Leak
If you're talking about a brake backing plate - with a drip at the bottom, to me that means a leaking wheel cylinder . . . which is a problem that needs to be fixed.

Re: Oil Leak
Agreed. Brake fluid wouldn't be acceptable if that's what the oil is. Jack E/NJ

Re: Oil Leak
I had this on my F1. It was a blown shock.
I did, as I suggest you do, double check for leaking wheel cylinder.
