Brake lines...

I went wheeling this past weekend. As I finished the trail I got out and noticed I was leaking fluid. I looked under the front end and noticed the brake lines to the calipers were soaked with fluid. The fluid was trickling to the tire. I drove home and did not feel any problems with the brakes or brake pedal. Can anyone tell me what this is and should I be concerned. I attempted to attach pictures but the upload page said it cannot display at this time...

Need to make sure you know exactly where the leak is from...have you verified it is the brakes?

Yeah that's not good, remember stopping is more important than going. Don't let your brake fluid get too low or it will be much harder to bleed out the air.

Probably too late now, but, make sure that brake fluid (if it is indeed that) DOES NOT get on your paint. It will permently stain it!! Happend to me, and now I have permenent brown spots on my rocker panels.
