Fiesta ST - Front brake hose washers (RED calipers only)

Some Fiesta ST vehicles with RED brake calipers could experience a very slight brake fluid leakage from the brake hose connection to the brake caliper.
The RED caliper used on the Fiesta ST has a different surface finish to a non painted caliper.
This surface finish may prevent the copper washer from fully sealing the joint.

Interesting observation, I'll take a look at mine when I get the chance. Or get my local dealer to take a look as its not far of the first 1000 miles so going in for a look see. Thanks for that.
