Whereabouts would collection be from?

Just taken it for a ride around the block and the front brake now leaks fluid so looks like I need a new one.

The usual advice for this is to hold in the moving piston (with a tyre lever, spanner, or similar), then pump the lever, so all the hydraulic pressure should then go to the stuck piston.
This is what worked in the end

I seem to have got it working. I'll ride it for a bit and see, if it holds up then all good. If not, then yes new caliper time.

Shimano RS505. Pistons stuck in.
Have tried bleeding the system, forcing them out with mineral oil, have soaked them in degreaser to try and free them up. I've got one piston moving but the other won't budge
Edit: Now got it moving
-
Any advice on removing stuck pistons? I can't seem to push them back in or force them further out.

I can thoroughly recommend the Patagonia Black Hole Duffels. They're less than £50 with the code. I've had one for years and it's as good as new. Great bags and they're now made from 100% recyclable materials
-
There's also an extra 15% code which applies to most of the Patagonia stuff
