Liquid on rear wheel?

I think i have a busted rear end wheel seal or something. there is a liquid, that looks like rear end fluid, that is leaking from the center of my wheel down to the ground. what is that and how do i fix it?

You might check the brake line as well as the banjo fitting for leaks. If not, the seal may be the culprit. Replacement involves pulling the axel.

yep, turns out it was the rear seals. i had the car inspected today and i had to replace them and the rear pads cause the liquid was flowing into the brake pads. thanks for the help.
