Doing a routine brake pad change on the wife's van I noticed a pinhole leak in the cylinder seal on the caliper and evidence of leaked/burnt brake oil. She had been complaining about a funny smell and pedal softer than usual. This is "good" because it means the issue is identified before becoming a serious problem and doesn't leave her stranded anywhere.
It's "bad" in that I have to tear the thing apart again when we get the new caliper sent out, but that's life and I don't mind car work as much as computer work. At least a mallet is a valid tool to use on the car and that's always good stress relief.
