Brake drums leaking - advice please

[ClioGav]

Got in my car the other day and when i set off my handbrake light stayed on, so i checked brake fluid as i'd changed the front pads last week.
Found out fluid has been pissing out allover my rear left wheel

It's only an RT so running drums on the back, so has my wheel cylinder gone?

what parts do i need? new cylinder/shoes?

any advice would be brilliant thanks

cylinder and shoes mate as the shoes will be contaminated. Best to do shoes on both sides though to keep it even. Pretty easy job, you got a haynes?

Cheap too

Cheers mate, how can i tell whether the rear shoes are girling or bendix?


I'm back at uni and left my bloody haynes back at home
