a rebuilt caliper is Less than $20 most places sounds way expensive buy your brake fluid by the gallon and up your auto insurance make sure they will cover brake failure and get more life insurance while your at it as you're going to need it soon with that attitude i just saw the guy recoment the trans fluid dont do it it will destrow the entire brake system master cylender calipers antilock systen it will cost you $$$$$$ hundreds maby 1000 or moreMazda Engine Coolant how many gal.in 2000 mpv in system?

Its cheaper to replace caliper with rebuilt than to buy rebuild kit and new piston and rebuild yourself . If cost is an issue check salvage yard for used.How do I find a good vehicle repair shop in my area?
You get that properly repaired fast. You won't only need more brake fluid, you will need new fenders, grill, bumper and headlights and a pocket full of money to pay for the car ahead of you when you crash.Roughly how much would it cost to repair a dent and probably replace my bumper?

If the wheel cylinder is leaking, you can get a simple repair kit from your local parts store. It will come (in most cases) a couple of new "O"-Ring seals and the rubber end caps. Use Emory cloth to smooth out the inside of the cylinder and replace the old worn parts. If it is the Master cylinder, kits are available for those too. they are relatively simple to repair.On another note: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Use transmission fluid instead of brake fluid. It will last a bit longer and slow the leak. However!!! It will break down the rubber seals over time. So you may have to repair them all sooner or later.
Best advise: GET A LOCAL SHOP TO MAKE REPAIRS.
Good luck and be SAFE!
Do more expensive spark plugs make a difference?
Check Auto Zone or any parts store on prices for a rebuilt caliper. Also price a rebuild kit for the brake caliper. I'd suggest a salvage yard, but you already have a used caliper, that leaks!!i have a 93 infiniti g20 and i need help...?
I agree with Brian, the caliper is usually cheaper than you expect.More Questions & Answers ...
