Rear brake caliper is leaking on a 2008 Honda Element. Not leaking from hose or bleed valve so I'm guessing it's a seal or oring leaking by.

Do you guys rebuild them or buy new ones or newly rebuilt ones? Caliper kit is about $4.00 and the caliper is $50.
 
Not sure how Advanced auto or places like them stay in business robbing people. 1 rear rebuilt caliper made by CARQUEST $90 and $45 core.

Replace is best unless you are hard up for money, and yes replace in pairs.
