Brake line rusted out and leaking fluid? Have a buddy pump the brakes hard and get under there and see if it dribbles out,l. Brake fluid does not dry. So. It might have been there for awhile

Pinion seal and looks like a small pin hole in the brake line where it clipped up before. The fluid seems only on that area. I blew up the pic and it looks like right at the clip.

So they are both pretty easy fixes?

Both are easy but take some tools. Unless you can by the brake line already flared you will need a flaring tool.

The pinion seal will require a gear puller to get the flange off the pinion and a torque wrench to retorque the nut.
