Just put new rotors on my car, has 30mm z32 calipers, took the 4 bolts on the back out instead of the 2 I was supposed to, is leaking now and won't hold pressure, need a quick fix till I can get new ones, just enough for a 20 minute drive, any help?

there is an o-ring in between the calipers. its probably out of place. check that. you might be able to use some rtv for a quick fix, but i dont recommend it.
