Fitted some DS2500 pads and disks (group N+) brought from TSL today on my MY02 Impreza. Stopped after 1-2 miles to watch the streams of smoke poring of the discs and noticed some fluid on the inside on both front wheels. On one wheel there must have been 10-20 drips and the other enough to make a ring all the way around. Looking closely the fluid may be a very thin oil and as the brake fluid level has not dropped I'm pretty sure this is not the source.

Assuming its oil used to protect the discs on the shelf or cutting fluid used while being manufactured. Anyone else seem this or know what it is?????

It may be an anti corrosion oil put on new discs while they are hanging around on shelves.
The discs usually come with instructions to use white spirit etc to wipe off this coating.

Or you have found that your car is an ex WRC model with water cooled brakes

orbv, you will not get drips of oil from any anti-corrosion measures. Sounds like you have cracked an oil line or loosened a nipple or summat during fitting.

Get it professionally checked before you hit something

Be safe,

Done a couple more journeys and no more drips. It also looks like the fluid has evaporated overnight so could have been the cleaner fluid used to clean the discs before fitting or protective oil / cutting fluid.

They have been inspected this morning can see nothing wrong.
