The problem really is a "chain of events" 1.st The cover for the E-brake has cracks, this 2.ndly leads to moisture enterring the area where the axle enters the brake caliper, 3.rdly this causes the axle to corrode as the picture shows. 4.th the corroded axle "chews" the O-ring and causes the caliper to leak.

So replacing seals is just a time extension - but its better then the option at the time being.
The housing can be "fixed" with sealant Getting a long term fix for the axle is a more complicated matter. Anyway - calipper is now reassembled with new seals - no leaks☺
