I had a new rear calipers, but i was not installed properly, not aligned w/ the boot on the bracket, then it leaked. It also make that side of rotors and pads hotter than the other side. I put it back in the right way, but i saw there s not more brake fluid coming out of the caliper, but that side of brake is still other than the other side. When i took that side off, i saw some oil residue between the pads n rotor. I ve used those brake kleen it many many times, but still has little on it. I wonder does brake pads absord brake fluid. Does anyone has any idea how to fix it?

No offense, but i cant figure out exactly what you are saying, but any kind of hydraulic leak is very bad. sounds like you need a new caliper http://www.car-part.com
