While scrounging around under MH, found LR caliper leaking (moist, NOT static leak). Evidence of fluid on inner side of inner dual tire. Moisture is around the lower Guide Pin Boot. Have an appointment with caliper installer (Sansing Chev, Pcola) 6/26/08. Only 207 miles on the new caliper since installation.

Will advise of results here. And will submit NHTSA after action report.

They found the brake line somewhat loose, thus the witness marks (brake fluid) on the inside tire. Tightened line. Guide pin boot ok. No charge, other than the round trip gas bill ($150). Oh well....gives me comfort that all's well, brake-wise.

Uncle Sam was paying for fuel back then though! :

Sounds like you're good to go!
