Description:SYSTEM - 11 rugged and solid, incorporates 4 big pistons, of 18 mm, each of them moves directly one single pad. The result is an awesome braking power, direct and prompt, combined with the best modulation due to the independent movement of the four pads.

Bottom Line:
Bought this bike used and the rear brakes were a little squishy. Being a first time DH rider with hyraulic disc brakes, somewhere I read you can substitute brake fluid with Mineral Oil (shut up, I know, stupid mistake) So after bleeding them many times with real DOT fluid. It seems that the seal around the piston went out. With the res cap off, when I pull the lever I can see the fluid coming out of the hole in the bottom as if the piston is displacing the fluid and forcing it back into the res. WTF!
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I CAN REPLACE THE SEAL?? or do I have to replace the whole lever setup?
