Fluid leaks

My passanger side wheel on my 82 pickup seems to be leaking. I thought it could be the brake caliper, so I replaced that but it still leaks. It appears to mess with my braking ability by pulling me to the left since there is so much 'fluid' all over the pads and such. My guess is maybe needing new seals for my stearing knuckle, or is it called the ball joint? Does anybody know for sure? And if so, how much would that coast?

My guess would be the seal on the birfield as well. If it's not your breaks, then it's that. Unless somehow you have engine oil migrating to that area...
