While my car was at Vorshlag I stopped by while the car was on the lift...

"What is this undercoating on the emergency brake cable???? Oh... that's not undercoating...."

The outer seal/clamp isn't up to snuff and I have grease all over the inside of the wheel and the rear suspension arms.

I've heard this has happened to at least one other car, so go check your car.

Happened to my '16 GT too, drivers side, we discovered it at Mid Ohio Cut right where the band clamp is crimped, repaired it with electrical tape and zip ties at the track, fixed it with RTV after I got home. Not leaking anymore. I have a spare set of axles that are part of my track day back ups. Wont let dealer fix it, they would screw up something else changing it.

Mine's not leaking yet but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the tip.
