thanks for replies guys.

i admittedly have pretty much zero car knowledge. that was part of the draw of buying this vehicle. learn as things break kinda thing.

i have a mechanic who inspected the hoses and calipers to which he said both looked new. however, from reading on here i see you really do have to take apart the hoses to see what's going on inside.

as for calipers, he says they also look new. but i will suggest we take both apart and replace if needed.

any recommendations for supplier of new hoses/calipers?

thanks again
