Default Break Fluid On Frame

Ok, so I went wheeling last weekend and today decided to look under the body ( just had a feeling ) and noticed so fluid on the frame, fender, break line, and part of the axle hose. After looking every time i had a break at work. I saw that wheel had rubbed on the rubber hose that protects the steel
break line where it meets the rubber hose. i had the disco button engaged.
I have a stock Rubi, just wondering if this had happened to anyone else?

I know but i just got out of work and have to go out to dinner.

hmm you sure its brake fluid? is your brake pedal very soft? if your brake line has a hole in it you would have trouble stopping......were you in some deep water? sounds like you got water in axle maybe, if you did the gear oil/water will come back up thru your breather hose, if its front drivers side the hose is at the top of the shock tower, rear breather hose is just at the top of frame on passenger side

I'm 100% sure it did not come from the axel overflow. I thnik the wheel hit the the hose and some break juice pushed out when the wheel hit the rubber.
