Re: Fluid leaking from brake drum? (Can't stop)

[Richard and Michelle Pizzulo <pez18@zebra.net>]

I totally had this happen last year - simple cheap fix.  Inside the
drum is a brake wheel cylinder (that pushes the brake shoes against the
walls).  When the cup seals wear out it starts leaking out the edges
and into the drum.  The part should be about $10.50.  I went
ahead and did both sides, since you should probably change out the shoes
while your in there.  HTH

I went out to the car today and my rear passenger side wheel was covered in
brake fluid.  I looked under the car at the drum and fluid seem's to be
leaking from it.  Assuming it was a broken line i looked and found that the
line running to the back of the drum is metal! I thought that the line
running to the back of the drum was rubber?  Well now i'm confused anyone out
there have any ideas?
