Once I figure out where that is I will have a look. ;)

Thank you! :)
Just above the oil filter, they wear out or get gummed up and start behaving exactly as you described. I don't remember it being expensive, but get OEM if you can. If you cheap out you'll be doing it again sooner.

Not Had a chance to look at it yet but I'm suspecting it's just a sticky piston. I rebuilt a rear caliper on my WJ (when the smoke was the leaking fluid burning off hot brake parts) & the most difficult part was sourcing a kit that included a piston but when I had a problem with the KJ's voracious appetite for right rear pads, I replaced the caliper because it was silly cheap - but what's a 1/2-caliper (takes me back to when you had to split calipers to reseal them).
Just the front bit of the caliper without the pad slides.
Frentech Braking do replacement piston and seals, I got them from there Ebay shop.

Your KJ is still in very good condition! Wonder what OBD2 codes are pending? What muffler are you installing?

Well I never would have guessed this one. Started smelling gas every single time I drive the jeep. Thought maybe something had happened at the fuel tank and the filler neck since it started right after I got a full tank put in. Nope. It's apparently the jumper line from the fuel hard line to the rails. It's leaking at the fitting on the hard line. Just weeps enough that when it's running for a bit it'll drip. Really kind of scary because the exhaust manifold is not too far from there!

You can even see the drip forming in this picture.
