My Spur has developed a small oil leak in the rear brake area on both sides . Drips of oil are visible on the tyres and leave a small streak, I have cleaned both brakes thoroughly but cant see where the leak is coming from.Is there a chance of a brake failure ?
Does any one have any suggestions please.

Dave,

As with any hydraulic fluid leak, there's a chance of a brake failure.

It's usually piston seals on callipers. Very very Occasionally the gallery seals between the callipers.
