Bought second hand, leaking already I guess. Took to a bike shop for a service, 'nah they just need a bleed' so they bled them. Leak continued, took to a second bike shop after putting the first bike shop on my long list of incompetents, 'your caliper is leaking' they told me so they replaced it, lo and behold the fucker still leaks. So I guess the second bike shop cheaped out on me (they also go on the incompetents list) and reused the olive and that's the source of the problem and I could fix that myself and bleed the brakes and maybe everything would be fine, but I instead decided to give up all hope of a functioning front brake and rely mostly on my rear to brake which I guess is fine because it's not like I'm going fast on that bike anyway.
Which is to say, had this been a mechanical brake this entire saga would have not happened and I wouldn't have sunk cash into still not having a fully functioning front brake.
Eejit-

Had you not used broken parts the same thing could be said.
Buy cheap, buy twice.

I've have an ultegra lh shifter leak. a few people online seemed to have similar problems. This is with about 40k km of riding so I can't complain

For me, hydro has been super reliable and easy to maintain, on Apex1, Ultegra and TRP on the cargo bike. No leaks, nothing. Did you set them up yourself? Did you do the olives etc correctly? Where's the leak?
