If you don’t clamp the hose the fluid will drain out.
Clamping the hose can damage it.There is a trick that you can try!
When your foot is fully off the clutch fluid is allowed to refil the system. When you press it slightly the master cylinder closes the valve to the reservoir and locks the fluid in the system. If no fluid can get into the top, no fluid will come out of the bottom. So try pushing the brake slightly. You’ll lose a small amount of fluid then it’ll stop.
Be careful when you release te bleed nipple (put a rag over it and watch your eyes and paint)

Also to replace it you don’t need to get that pin out. The whole caliper will be bolted to the wheel station with 2 more bolts that you haven’t touched yet.
The caliper will probably only slide out in one position too.

Your right it shouldn’t be leaking at all.
It should be sliding.
It shouldn’t be wiggling as much as it is.
Buy a new caliper and take that one to bits and see what’s going on with the slide pin. We can already establish that the seals are leaking.
Years ago DoT 3 and DoT 4 brake fluid were made of mineral oil/synthetic oil. The composition of the seals mattered. So just double check that your not using very very old DoT 3 or another mineral oil based brake fluid.

Is it not possible to just drill the heads off the screws that you can’t undo, then when you hav he mirror off take the screws out with a pair of pliers?

I think your doing pretty well yourself, all I can suggest is check all connections and the belt. If good take it off and repair/replace.

I wondered the same thing considering that I’ve never noticed this before, as in ever. I’ve not even noticed while driving or as a pedestrian looking at other peoples cars on the road. Possibly something built into modern exhaust systems?
I can imagin that sparky exhausts are popular in fuel stations!

I think it’s your fuel filter.
Think about this the filter has loads of crap in it, the fuel is being dragged through the filter in one direction. The crap builds up in the exit port end and the engine is starved of fuel looses power and stalls.
Once stalled there is no suction holding the crap on the exit port, it falls back and open the fuel supply. Car runs for a bit and it happens again and again….
I’ve seen this before, but you threw me with the O2 sensor. However with that disconnected and the problem persisting. It’s not the O2 sensor.
I’m 99% certain it’s a fuel issue and most likely at the filter.
What do you think?
