    Just about a week ago I had brake caliper replaced on my kw t660 with disc brakes and now I have wheel seal leak. I was wondering if it might be caused by improper caliper install or unrelated? Im not sure if mechanic took apart seal to install caliper or loosened up something to cause a leak. Anyone know if the two are related?

    At this point nothing will make you feel better as far as knowing where it came from, seal has to be replaced. Take it to the shop it was worked on and complain, new seal can't be leaking after the install, unless it was damaged before or during it.

    I've talked another reputable shop and they said it's probably coincidence unless they took off rotor itself but I didn't see rotor being taken off
