  Don't drive it! The fluid could be leaking from a brake line, hose, or part of the brake assembly at the right rear. The loss of brake fluid could cause you to lose your brakes while driving.

  Special tools and knowledge are required to perform brake hose replacement. I would recommend you seek the help of a qualified technician for your brake repairs.
