i had mine leak from the handbrake lever shaft. also when i pulled the adjuster cap, it was leaking from there too. the o ring on the adjuster shaft on the rebuild kits is marginal thickness. I had to go up 1 thickness to stop it leaking.
pretty easy job to do, just be prepared to pull them apart again if they leak still.
