Leaking slave boot

[Buzz]

Just got done dealing with the right front hub seal. New brake shoes fitted and now I have a leak from one of the slave boots - which are new. Anyone with a suggestion or trick to stop this? I appreciate you time. - Buzz

If the slave boots are new and you did not mess them up putting them in, I would think the provider might send you replacements.
Check that out.

If you have a leak at the "wheel cylinder" boot, which is what I interpret "slave boot" to mean, you have a leak at the wheel cylinder piston seal. The boot is a dust boot. You need to take it back apart and see if it's the cylinder bore or a nicked o-ring or cup seal from your assembly. A sudden blow out of the seal would be potentially disastrous.

Thanks, I'll take 'em apart and have a look see.
