If its on the fender liner its either leaking from the master itself and dripping down or more likely your hose has a small pin hole in it. the stock rubber is 2 layered for safety it might be seeping through and under hard breaking it squirts out but you should notice the pedal being soft. check the bleeders in the calipers too

I had this problem, but it was just a leaky cylinder in the drum break, but I would definetly have a friend push breaks while on jack stands or something with tire off and take a look yourself, Post pics when u figure it out!

Not trying to say you are wrong, but from the o/p I just want to make this clear. DON'T press the brake pedal with the drums off, theres a good chance the pistons could pop out of the wheel cylinder. To check them all you have to do is squeeze the rubber gromets with your fingers to see if fluid comes out.
