You did a good job.
I too had a weep there but didn't take out the shaft as the main problem was slipping and insufficient clamping force.
The ones from Eurocarparts are brand new from TRW at about £180 after a £43 core charge is refunded. I thought it would be refurb due to them wanting the old part but it wasn't.
I had a similar problem and tried to fix the old one but the ingress had caused wear and there was too much slop in the swash plate on the shaft causing it to slip when it was clamping. I JB-welded the casing back up and sadly by about the 5th time I put it back on the caliper it cracked again. As someone on here said (quite rightly) there is also a problem with the large o-ring on the caliper that the EPB goes onto becoming a tighter fit due to the aluminium underneath corroding and swelling. I would remove that seal too and give it a good scrape and clean and put some silicone grease on it as when you don't have a crack it will be much tighter!
