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

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
