Is my disc break system leaking oil?

If you notice any oil on the calipers in the marked areas (see
photo), this does not necessarily mean that the brake is leaking.

There is an O-ring seal between the two halves of the caliper.
When the brake is assembled, there may be oil between these
two halves. This oil is pressed out when the brake is operated
the first time. The oil will soon stop emerging.

Please follow the following steps:
- Wipe the oil from the caliper, while pulling the brake lever.
- Check that there is no oil on the brake pads. Replace the pads if necessary.

If oil sweating returns after some usage, please contact your local dealer for support.
