E-Brake light came on and I popped the hood to check the fluid and it was very low, then I had stuck my head under the driver side wheel well and noticed leaking fluid all over the frame right where the junctions are mounted. I’ve tried to search for the leak to no avail, any help would be great thanks.

    You're just going to have to get in there with rags and a light to find the leak. Remove the rubber splash guard if you still have them to get better access. Clean it all up. Maybe have a friend press the brake pedal while you look?

    Sometimes the seal into the brake booster fails, and fluid empties from the MC into the booster.
