Brake fluid leaking at caliper

[bhorn]

This morning I noticed some wetness around the rear passenger wheel. Sniff test and visual inspection lead me to discover it is brake fluid. I did not think to check for leaking calipers when I accepted delivery just over a week ago. I've sent a service request message Tesla using the app. I requested mobile service, but I expect they will need to tow it to the service center.

Pretty bummed right now.

Anyone have experience with leaking calipers?

I knew I'd need to hang out with the service guys eventually, but this was quicker than I'd imagined.

Whoa that's pretty ugly and glad you saw/smelled it. Likely it's just that bleed screw you have pictured. I'll bet if you tried to turn it you could fix it yourself but I'd want the service center to fix it. Brake fluid will melt paint and if that performance caliper paint or wheel paint ever starts to peel, you have the history documented.

I imagine if they look at those pics they will just dispatch mobile.

Is this new? Be Careful, brake fluid will remove paint.
