Took them out after it had happened and it fixed the binding issue, but obviously the damage was already done.
I've never run the shims with previous track pads and i can safely say i won't be again 😂
Rebuilding the calipers yesterday after being a complete idiot at Oulton Park on Saturday and nearly setting fire to the brakes 😂
Put some new CL RC6's in but left the anti-rattle shims in from my oem road pads... I knew this was a bad idea but still did it 🤬
One session in and the pads had...
Have one of those large drip trays from Machine Mart under there, just incase.

Get some brake/clutch cleaner too.

Some local dates for you @Tubbs Vice @dann2707...
It can leak from the actual solenoid seal which is next to the oil filler.
Or it could be any of the bolts really.
If it's just the odd bolt leaking, you can remove it and put a bit of silicone under the head and nip it back up.
No, it's a cambelt job mate.
The cover holds the cams in.
It's a liquid gasket too, not a physical rubber seal.
First cylinder on the left would be no.4. Potentially it could be the dephaser solenoid seal, which is easy enough to do.
I've no idea how to calculate that, but the 172 cams will be a 'bigger' cam won't they compared to the Meg ones.
This will lower the dynamic ratio i think.
Probably splitting hairs for the power you'll be looking to run.
I'd go with the 1.75mm gasket. 8.3:1 sounds plenty low enough.
Cover and sump look good.
