Sweating/Leaking what's the difference

[neil-c]

I had my car which is still under warranty serviced at an independent garage. They reported that the rear brake cylinders were leaking. When I put it into the franchise dealer, which I had to, they say the cylinders are sweating not leaking and therefore not requiring changed. What's the difference?

Hello there.its the same thing .the seals have started to do and therefore leak a little.they might last a long time or may form a larger leak.they have to remove the drum to check and should have just replaced them while there as they are not expensive.i would tell them it's a break part and you would like it changing as a safety matter.goodluck.rob motor mech.
