Year = 1985 Make = Oldsmobile Model = Ninety Eight Trim = Regency Brougham Engine = 3.8L V6 OHV 12V driveline = front-wheel drive I have a problem with the front drivers side caliper sticking it will work itself free after sitting for a bit, I just replaced the caliper and brake pads and it still is doing the same thing. I am thinking maybe I have a line collapsing but am looking for other opinions of something that I might be overlooking. I locks up to where it will start smoking from the caliper/wheel area.

You might have a brake hose acting as a check valve and keeping pressure in the caliper from returning back to the master. Usually it is a good idea to replace the hoses when you replaced a caliper that was hanging. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Going to replace them On Friday (payday) and will keep you posted to whether it solves the problem or not.

IMO high chance of a flex hose as DS suggested. If this is smoking hot now hope you can NOT drive it till Friday! You can test for that by hitting brakes so they do pull or are stuck on that side. Hoist both fronts, feel the dragging then just a quick open of bleeder if it releases that hose is almost the certain problem. Do yourself a favor on a 1985 and spray the flare nut connections to both (or any you find anywhere) with PB now and have a much better chance at those coming apart for you later without making up brake lines unless they stink too anyway. If the car is worth a damn do the whole job, both sides equally, T
