If it's drums at the rear then most likely the problem will be the wheel cylinder, if discs a leaking caliper or brake hose.

you sure its leaking from the wheel, the brake pipes around the fuel tank rot like anything, i fail so many on mot's and had a couple in that have rusted though and leaked.

If I remember rightly it's the tank in the way ?, if so needs lowering, as said above dreadfull design bit this leading to problems later on.
