hi all... thx for the input, i replace the 4 brake shoes and 4 new cylinders, they are so old that i should just replace them, mud all over them i bet the previous owner went off road and that's why mud everywhere. Now no leaks and runs good, especially the brake padle feels like soft not hard...
took it apart.. and the vent is not blocked and both of the cylinders are wet, , the entire brake shoe is soak, not a trace of oil coming from underneth the hub, so i assumed is definately from the cylinders. so i have to get 2 new shoes, and 2 new cylinders.
thx all..
Thx everyone, i will follow all your leads to determine what the problem is.. by the way i found the vent. It is located with the brake line T .. very interesting very interesting.
thx again
