Brake line leaking

I have a leaking brake line on a blazer I just pu that seems to be running from under the passenger side inside the wheel well. Hard to see where its leaking.
What usually leaks first the rubber hose? of the metal lines?
Do I need to use silicone brake fluid?
Thanks

Pull the wheel and do a throrugh inspection. I'd rather not take a guess when it comes to brakes. Your CUCV had silicone originally.

if its the front, its probably the caliper leaking, if rear its the wheel cylinder. the seals inside them are probably shot from age, once you get this one done you can expect to do the others in the next few years.

Its on the front, looks like the hose that runs from the wheel under the frame, leaking at the point somewhere under the frame. Hard to see anything in this tight space.
What does the brake line connect to after it runs from the wheel?
The fluid is pouring out fast.
