My 1996 993 (standard Carrera) has just failed its MOT due to a leaking front brake calliper. I'm wondering if this is likely to be repairable or if the calliper will need replacing, and if the latter any suggestions/preferences (stay with Porsche original, or go with something else)? Any thoughts/comments appreciated!

Where's it leaking from? Nipple or piston? Should be repairable easy enough, they are Porsche only at just under £900 + vat
 
Had both my fronts refurbished by BCS. New are a ridiculous price especially if replaced in pairs. The failure is most likely due to serviceable items. My OPC removed them, sent them to BCS, refitted after refurbishing. I paid BCS directly.
