i searched, searched and searched, and found nothing. i have been loosing plenty of brake fluid the last month or so, and brake likght would go on, i saw there was a little puddle under the rear right rim, and took off the spindle and nut after removing the wheel, and there was gunk of brake fluid all black and nasty. i cleaned it up the best i could, and bought a new wheel cylinder, along with shoes just because these seemed to be more then 75% worn, and seemed to make sense to me since i had it all out, and since the other drum squeeked when letting go of the brake.i replaced both shoes, and wheel cylinders, and now after about 3-5 minutes of city driving, these brakes squeel, squeek, whistle whatever you wanna call it reallyyyy loud. its unbearable since its high pitched to me, since i also have ears like a dog. it happens sometimes when i slow down, very little however, but mainly when i let go and continue to drive slowly from lets say a stop sign till i reach a good 12 or so mph. i did put brake grease on all the contact points, but i dont know what else to do.. im not sure if its normal while the new shoes "brake in" or not? please help. thank you! i do
