Red face Why does barke fluid come out my caliper pistons

i recently installed new remanufactured calipers

i want to know why my caliper pistons on my front right side are leaking brake fluid bad

are they defected and need to be returened?

is it because i didnt grease the caliper pisons?

or becuase i didnt use the shims and just placed my brake pads in thinking the backing on them were shims?

Well, that sucks, eh?

The seals are defective. You need to exchange them.

Sounds like the caliper is bad to me!

But i would say they are defective, not defected.
