Hi new here and would like to pick your brains ?

Have just changed the front brake pads and now have brake fluid leaking from the cap of the reservoir, Any Suggestions.
Also when changing the pads the drivers side lower guide pin was stuck, did not slide?

With regards to the fuild that is just since you have put new pads in, the piston has gone back further into the caliper and pushed the fuild back up the system. As for the pin you can clean and grease but if the rubber protector has gone better to replace as it will only rust up again.
