is it toast or this fixable?
Blown piston seals are a normal failure mode on all disc brakes, but Shimano don't do rebuild kits (Hope and SRAM do) so if the seal is destroyed, you're fucked.
As @coventry_eagle intimates, sometimes it's just dirt stopping the seal from sealing and you can rescue it, especially if you get to it quickly.
The SLX brake on my polo bike is leaking from one of the pistons - is it toast or this fixable?
