Hi Larry,
If the next puddle is in front of the right rear tire, then it is usually a rusted out brake line where the cad plated line goes into the cab through a rubber boot that catches all of the salt and sand.
This is not too bad.
If the puddle is behind the wheel, or from on top of the gas tank, it is still a rusted out line but much harder to replace properly.
I would not drive it except into your garage.
On the bright side you did not find your brake problem driving down a mountain at 70 in traffic!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
