Well if its just one side then I agree with JETPILOT... gotta be fluid. The bleeder valve isn't tight or there is a leak in the caliper or brake lines or something. If there is a defect in the caliper you may be able to get that wheel replaced too by Wilwood...
Those rotors look like the same surface area as the stocks... you have a pic further back? Maybe its just the angle thats deceiving, but it doesnt look like it has that long distance around like most BBK's have. I like the black calipers though.

Yeah might just be getting a little squirt here and there... you may never notice the level change because it would be such a minute amount of fluid loss.

no paint coming off the caliper, on the back, or on the inside, lines are all tight. I did manges to get a half turn out of the outer bleeder, and about 2 and a half out of the inner one, hopefully thats all it is

Drove it around, check fluid level and wheel, no leaks, no more fluid came out, ill keep and eye on it though
once i got all the dead paint off, it looks much better, i doubt anyone will notice it when it gets dirty again
