   Could be the wheel cyclinder on that drum, you will have to replace it along with the pads.

   If it's only leaking on that one side (the rear) then it shouldn't affect the front but they do say when one thing is fooked then to replace all the others at the same time.
   
   Cyclinders only cost roughly £5.
   
   You only need to replace the brake pad on the wheel that is leaking purely because that pad will be contaminated.

   so what should be changed on the front, cause theres nothing wrong with the pads and discs that are on, thanks for this

   if the cylinder is leaking, then when you press the brakes, the fluid will take the path of least resistance so basically leak.
   
   I'd get both rear cylinder replaced - bleed up the hole system and I bet it is spot on

    if that's the one for your model of car, and it comes up when you put your reg in then yeh!
    
    Held on by 2x 5mm iirc allen bolts accessed from the back face of the drum (pointing at the spare wheel)
