2 days ago i noticed a grinding noise coming from my left driver side wheel when I applied the brakes. Today I was leaving my house and the wheel locked. It appears that the brake will not disengage the wheel. There is also a flood of brake fluid now pouring from the wheel. I have no idea what is happening but sounds like a cylinder issue. Can you help?
