Bummer,one of the rear calipers is leaking at the handbrake return spring.Considering these were reconditioned units i'm not happy.Will need to replace them and bleed the brakes again i use silicone brake fluid and it ain't cheap.

Not what you would expect of a recon calliper. I would have thought they would have pressure tested them.
