leaking brakes

[cwe]

hi guys
is this a big problem ? drove home the after being away the weekend and my brake light came on and stayed on .pedal right down to stop, anyway checked the fluid very low
topped it up light went out till i pumped the peddle the the light came on again, checked under the bus, fluid pissing out the back near side wheel ,so what I'm asking is this a major job or what ?

Yes very dangerous & obviously don't drive it until it's fixed. Could be split hose or pipe but probably the wheel cylinder & pretty straightforward to change.

straight forward
wheel off
drum off
shoes off (take a photo before)
replace the wheel cylinder ...buy quality https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/b ... -rear.html
drum on
bleed
wheel on
