Brakes leak?

WOFP,is there any brake fluid visibly leaking into the cab under the brake pedal?If there is then it is a bad master cylinder.Look under the truck at the wheels and brake backing plates,do you see any oil that has leaked out of a wheel cylinder and out onto the tire?Have someone sit in the truck and jam the brake pedal and look for any leaking at any of the brake components.Let us know what you find.
