Leaking brake fluid from inside the brake drum

[V1NNY]

Anyone know what the problem could be and how much to fix it?? got a nice puddle on the drive and running low on brake fluid :S

It'll be the cylinder inside the drum leaking most probably. They can be replaced and aren't that expensive or difficult to do iirc.

You will need new shoes on the rear due to contamination, to add to the cost.

Not hard at all if you have a few skills on the spanners. A haynes manuel would be a good guide if you have never done anything like it before.

Brakes will need bleeding after though, thats the part that needs extra care an attention!

Brakes, Steering and Tyres are most important things on a vehicle.

Check your brake fluid level.
