Can't find the source of brake fluid leak
Hi, I have a 2001 3500 dually. On my way home last night i had a full load of gravel and about a mile from my house I had to slam on the brakes to avoid a deer. I park my truck unload the gravel and pass out for the night. Wake up this morning to find abs and brake light on and brake fluid(I assume) all over the rear of my truck. Looks like it may have started on top of the fuel tank and just seeped everywhere. I can't find the source because there is nothing left to leak and I live out in the country so nobody wants to bring me a bottle of fluid. Any suggestions will help.

Most likely rusted out rear brake line behind the tank. Happens to them all, if Extended cab 4X4, you need a 60" and a 30" piece of 3/16" line and a connector.
Don't bother dropping the tank, just tape over the end you are shoving through to keep it clean. Those 2 should take you all the way from the block on the front to the block on the back.
