Hello,
Recently was replacing rear disc brake pads in 2015 Nissan Rogue, 4cyl. fwd, around 76k miles, automatic. Rented a brake caliper compression tool from autoparts, accidently used the wrong adapter and ended up almost ripping a small piece of outer flexible rubber in a calipper in a brake caliper, was wondering if it is still okay to drive the way it is, please see attached picture. The vehicle started making a strange whistling noise from the same wheel when putting in reverse when applying a brake pedal, but when driving forward and applying a brake pedal doesn't make that noise. In your opinion is it possible that eventually the brake fluid will leak or is there also another barrier besides the outer flexible rubber that stops the brake fluid from leaking out. Brake fluid is not leaking, I was told by auto parts that the caliper could fail on this affected wheel, my main concern is not to have any brake fluid leak later. Not sure how to attach picture 📸 if someone can tell me how. Any suggestions , advices will greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Did you forget? You posted photos in your last two questions.
Although, imgur seems to be more reliable than postimg

they only cost 10 bucks. https://www.harborfreight.com/disc-brake-pad-piston-compressor-70608.html

the rubber boot is to keep dirt out, so I doubt it. But I'll wait for your photo.
Thank you!
