Oh, sorry, I got excited, lubed up your wheel and phucked it.... I mean... It def sounds like something's leakin, unless you drove over some weird shit in the road, but if it's in the inside of the rim, sounds like something's drippin down. I'd say jack the car up and see if you can see any leaks from under the car, or at least check all your fluid levels

how would you go about doing that

...anyways, i looked at that brake (i think it was the break line ) and i saw that same stuff

i should jack it up now but i gotta go to work soon so i have no time maybe i'll ask the guys at the TorontoAccords meet if they know

Check your brake fluid level in the reservoir, and also make sure that you have brake pressure and resistance in the pedal, you do NOT want your brakes dying while you are driving, believe me, i've been there(twice), it sucks

the brakes on my bronco went out a long time ago. i unwantingly used an advanced auto parts wall to stop the truck. made a mess of the wall and screwed up my brush guard.
