I recently started to get some brake fade. There started to be a scrubbing sound followed by my brakes starting to fade. So I automatically assumed it was time for new brakes--I even bought new rotors just because it was so cheap. I replaced these parts to find that I didn't need them, come to find out I have a leak. I don't really know exactly what's leaking. The leak is coming from the back of my passenger side rear tire. People suggested that I is the caliper, but I know it's not the caliper because it's leaking onto the back of the tire and it's coming from above the tire. Any idea what's there? Hopefully just a rubber line. Right now my truck is stuck in the parking lot at my job. The brake fluid leaks out within' maybe a minute and when I press the brakes the fluid shoots out from above the rear passenger side tire. I have absolutely no brake fluid in the truck right now but the brakes are locked. I don't see how that makes much sense, no brake fluid but the brakes are locked? I can't move the truck due to the brakes being locked up and I'm trying to avoid paying a tow truck as my EX is about 25 miles away from where I need to take it. Can someone give me any suggestions?
