I have a leak somewhere in my front right caliper...I am assuming. I smelled something taking the Coach back to storage and opened the doghouse and saw the rotor was looking greasy and saw some smoke and smell of fluid. Wondering if this could be a simple deal to fix or Workhorse need to see this thing at my dealer?

Anyone come across this type of thing and if so, what was the outcome?

....I'll hang up and listen

Had similar leaks on front wheels. Outcome was defective spindle seals leaking wheel bearing oil onto the rotor. Check your wheel bearing oil level.
