The other possibility is its leaking into the airpack. For a few extra dollars if you havent already buy the brake fluid reservoir so you can eyeball your level without having to pop the cap all the time .I found mine on ebay . Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

Its possible the brake fluid is contaminated from a previous owner. You need to find the source of your leak weather its into your airpack or one of your wheel cylinders. Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk

I want to thank everyone here for helping so far.

So just to update the brakes have been replaced . Diff inspected and new seals and axles installed new airpack master cylinder . Brake switch from what I can tell it was the airpack that had failed .

Front axle shaft passenger side shattered

All new seals will be going in once the weather breaks I found a supplier for the rivets and a shop here that will turn the drums and set the new linings on for me . I had to deal with this problem first

Anyone know a supplier for the brake lining rivets size etc

Thanks. Will tackle a full brake job and seals for peace of mind first .

Hoping to do it in place since it was rebuilt .

Thanks bigmike. That's my plan and since the axle seal is leaking on the drivers inner axle it's a sooner then later job being a paramedic by trade crushing people is not high on my list of job discriptions . My whole intent was to get it home so I could work on it during the down time ...
