My strong suspicion is that one of the metal brake lines is leaking on the back axle. These are replaceable with universal brake replacement lines. Need to crawl under there and find out what has sprung the leak. You'll probably need an aerosol can of "brake clean", also. It's better if you have a jack & jackstand (to keep the car up if the jack decides to leave the arena). It'll most likely be pretty obvious where the leak is. If not, put on your safety goggles and have someone add brake fluid to the ABS master cylinder in the engine compartment, and watch for fluid. If necessary have someone push gently on the brake pedal to force fluid out. If it's a line, measure it carefully, take it out, take it to NAPA/Kragen's/etc. and get the next longer line with matching fittings on both ends, and a couple quarts of brake fluid (DOT 3 & 4). Come back if you need more info.
