Clean it all up and go out during the day. Fill it with fluid and see where it goes

why the heck would you tow it from the back in the first place, thats so wrong...No, it has been sitting for a long time, and PO didnt say when he last did brakes. They are front discs though
This is something I could help you with possibly over Christmas break, App State gets out early Dec. I’ve done it twice, not on a 40 before just a 75 and a Prado but not too different. Purchase the rebuild kit from crusier outfitters with the seals, gaskets, and bearingsLeaks
I have no idea what is broken

I wasn’t the tow guy, I was expecting him to unhitch and turn it around after he got it out of the lot but he never did. Anyway, it’s ok. Time for a knuckle and brake rebuild, and if that didn’t happen, I don’t think I would have noticed it until I started drivingwhy the heck would you tow it from the back in the first place, thats so wrong...
Are we looking at brake fluid dripping off the knuckle?Leaks

Yea that’s what it looks like. I poured new fluid in the reservoir and then a pool of fluid formed, and fluid started dripping from the knuckle. Maybe it started from somewhere else but it looks like it was from the knuckleAre we looking at brake fluid dripping off the knuckle?

I mean I unscrewed and took out the bleeder bolt because it was rusted, but no fluid came out when I took it off. The hole in the inside was covered with rust so I opened it up with a toothpick and tried bleeding it again but nothing happened. I’m going to take a closer look tomorrow but the fluid was dripping near the leaf in the picture above.Cracked/broken soft lines? Are all the fittings and bleeders tight?

There was a giant pool of fluid when the brakes caught fire on the tow truck so maybe something melted or exploded then
I 2nd this. Not much is more terrifying than going to brake and nothing happening... luckily only happened to me at a stop sign in our old 55 but could've been much worse. Get it braking before you get it moving.Replace your front brake system. The whole thing won't cost more than a few hundred bucks. master, calipers, and all front and rear soft lines. Passing this up isn't smart.
Just ordered everything except calipers…cruiser outfitters were low on calipers so they were 500 dollars so I passed so I’m looking Somewhere else. Anyone know where someone may have some calipers?
