if one of the cylinders on the calipers goes all the way out to the point of fluid shooting out would I need to replace said cylinder

 

is the caliper leaking or the brake line???


whichever one is leaking needs to be replaced, and might wanna do the other side as well

 

well here is the deal I was driving the other day to go and get the brakes for my truck and on my way back home my brakes went out and I had to use the engine to brake all the way home and when I got there I saw what looked and felt like brake fluid and it was coming from one of the pistons on the passenger side caliper (what I am assuming happened was that one of the pads fell off of the caliper and the caliper opened up all the way) but I looked and could not find a tear in the boot of the caliper so I just pushed it back in and I am currently changing the pads and rotors and I am going to try the brakes out and if it is leaking then I will change or rebuild the caliper which ever is more economical
