Default Brake fluid leak off caliper

Its leaking out of the e brake pivot plate that looks like it bolts to the caliper. Do i need a new caliper or is this a rubber piece that can be replaced? Thanks for the help!

can you post a pic? the only place fluid might leak out of a caliper is the bleed hole or the lines.

Here you go. It looks like when the e brake is pulled it twisted and slides in. It isn't holding pressure when the brakes are applied and fluid leaks around it. I don't know if this can be fixed or if it means a new caliper?

ya you'll need a new one if it's leaking from there.
well you're in luck because i have a set of calipers that just need the rebuilt kit from MJM. pm me if you want them. and yes they are the rears like the one in your pic
