Well, I will take the wheel off and check that hose and take a photo of the rotor. I just posted that photo for polli to show what discoloration I was talking about. I do not think thats from hot brakes. I could be wrong.

I guess I have been lucky with brakes. I have had alot of old cars and currently two 70s cars with perfect brakes, but I did have a 1969 Chevrolet that had a sticking left front brake. Turned out the caliper was bad, but I went ahead and replaced all of the hoses at every wheel.

I will probably just get one of the mechanics to check it this week. I need to get an alignment and new front tires anyway. This would be a good time for all of that I guess.

Thanks.
