Possibly a burst seal on the actualy braking unit, where the pistons are, not cheap!

Just had both of mine done on the 1.6
Both cylinders had blown and covered the shoes in fluid.
Cost me £150

 

[hunter82]

is that 150 for the cylinders or did ya need the new shoes aswell , aww ive only just had the bearing done on that side so im wondering if the garage has damaged something cause my clio has not even done 25k miles yet

Make sure there is fluid in the reservoir mate, and drive it as least as possible! (just to and from garage etc) If its leaking out the drum its really knackered!!

 

[hunter82]

the reservoir is full up mate , i cant c any fluid actually leaking out as such it just that my drum caseing has fluid on it but there is no sign of any fluid on my alloy

Clyinders and shoes both sides mate. Done at a back st garage.
No point going to the stealers for a job like that in my opinion.
