I'm not sure what you mean by salt roads.

I live in Victoria, BC. We have "winter" from January 15 to Feb 28. Admission: I've never owned a can of penetrating oil

Haha! But you didn’t mention the year-long Rain Festival!

I spy blue sway bar.

Oh yeah, 4 bolt control arms suck. 2 bolts are far better.

Not too much rain here. Victoria is the 10th driest city in canada.

I've got the track spec iPd sway bars, which I think aren't made anymore, at least they don't list the 25mm rear bar on the site.

Wow, huge contrast to nearby Vancouver.

Re installed fuel line on the S70 AWD back to factory rigging and installed under car cover. Double clamped the hose with 153 oetikers

Still can’t get any brake fluid through left rear caliper.

Have you tried cracking the brake line loose to bleed it that way? Probably a blockage in the caliper.

Did an oil change.

Happy to report no coolant in the oil though. Timed the change well as it was a bit brown but not black. No big particles in the oil either.

Did full synthetic 5w-30 and car seems to run well.

Going to do plugs, fluid reservoir and a drain and fill in the coming days.

My bet is on the plugged caliper. Remove brake supply hose to this wheel and try to pull fluid/air thru the bleed screw using vacuum pump. If no fluid moves, poke an insulated, braided electric wire (this should not damage anything inside the caliper) in the inlet and outlet and twist to break up junk.
