First of all
Stock non-track brakes
Hawk HP + pads
Motul brake fluid

So after a day on the track I decided to check my brakes, and in the front brakes I found out the dust bood had bruned partially.

I already did some reaserch here, and found out that it is not bad to have the brakes without them (if cleaned with brake cleaner often), specially if I am planning on attending more track events.

The other thing which sort of bothers me is that there seemd to be a little bit of fluid residue on the rear bottom part of the calipers.

So I have some of questions.

1. Will a burned dust boot be able to cause some fluid to leak from the piston portion? or where else could the fluid had come from?(Note: The fluid on the reservoir did not get lower)

2. Do I need to take the rest of the dust boot off? and if so, how?

3. What kind of damage kind I expect to my brakes, if I dont replace the dust boots? and if any, will those damages be able to be fixed by buying new imporved brakes (i.e Stoptech, BBK).


Any help or information is greately appreciated.

 

are you sure you saw brake fluid on the calipers? I had some burned stuff at the bottom of my calipers, but I'm pretty sure it was the 'anit-sqweak' substance that was just melting.

 

You are probably right, thanks for pointing that out. The thing is that the heat resistant grease I applied, I wiped off beacuse the shims wouldnt fit the Hawk pads, but maybe the small amount that stayed came off; but I am not totaly sure it was all grease. I have also seen that the bolt boots are greased, could the grease had come drom those too?
