Is this something that’s easy to fix? I sure appreciate help here. What do I need to do. In the pic, you can see how the fluid is leaking and pools under the tire. Thanks in advance!

You need to replace the wheel cylinders. All 4 will need replacing if they have never been replaced.

Thanks, David!! Is there a YouTube video you know of showing how to do this? Where would I go to buy the parts/cylinders? Is it a hard job to do? Thanks for any added input!!

I don’t think there are any YouTube videos for a Think but just watch other ones. They’re all similar. You should get a line wrench so you don’t round off the nuts. Spray the brake line with penetrating fluid. Let it soak. The drums can be a pain to get off if it has been a while since they’ve been off. Hitting between the wheel studs can help break them loose.
