Front Caliper

I have had to add oil to my brakes and found the left front caliper where it has been leaking. Which would be better rebuild it or replace it. I have never rebuilt a caliper is it that hard.

It's definitely easier just to replace it but that also depends on where it's leaking from. Can you see the source of the leak? If it's in the piston area, I would say just replace the caliper.

Where exactly is it leaking from? I have been thinking about rebuilding my calipers and getting them powdercoated at the same time. I have rebuild kits if you are interested.
