Squishy brakes and I see break fluid dripping
Brake fluid is leaking out of the drivers side joint. forgive me for not knowing the term, but it's leaking out of the shiny part of the wheel hub. Any clue what's needed? Do I need to completely repack this thing with grease now?

Thanks Jim, you were correct. It was the knuckle seal. I will drain and replace the fluid in it this evening.
Adjusting the brakes fixed the squishy brake issue. I noticed the rear shoes had the spring on the outer holes of the adjuster side, and the inner holes of the opposite side. This is equal on driver and passenger. The spring leaned against the adjuster nut and i was unable to turn it. Is this normal?? Should i move the springs to the inner hole on both ends of the shoe?
