Default Im guessing this is a brake fluid leak

Well actually I know it is...brake fluid levels in the master cylinder keep falling...sigh...braking is sinking to the floor, and im gonna have the dealer check it out...=P, anyone ever have this problem or had it fixed before?

You can see the whole tire is wet since it was being driven around...boy it isn't safe to drive

Break line or cylinder that is an easy fix that you can do yourself!! Is you want that is!!! Just make sure that you clean the drum and the break shoes really good with break cleaner!! Don't know if your truck is still under warranty, if it is take it to the dealer and if is not, like i said, "EASY FIX"

Its a wheel cylinder, or I would bet on it anyways! Not a hard install and they usually arent two expensive, just be careful when removin the line, they can snap and you'll be replacing a portion of the line, GOOD LUCK
