Default brake issue

I'm having issues with my brakes. It seems to be leaking/bleeding somewhere. Ever since i got my new rims on it, it's been bleeding or leaking, but only on the front passenger side. What I'm thinking of is because i was doing too much high rolls with my guys wrx, and evo's and I was braking too hard, and i was also doing a lot of runs through the woods with all the curvy roads and doing a lot of engine braking, heel toe, and hard braking. Can somebody help me on this situation? I notice that it only leaks or bleeds when I hit a high speed and brake hard.

You can't see where the fluid is coming from?

well, i've found the issue.. it wasn't the brakes.. it seems like the greese around the axel is bleeding for some reason.. it's the greese by the ball bearing or whatever it's call, it's located by the axle. does anyone know what this means? i don't want to be driving it around not know what will happen. have anyone experience this before?

Is is coming from the CV joint? If it is, it's only a matter of time before it starts clicking, then breaks altogether.
You can get a rebuilt one from any chain auto parts store fairly cheap (less than $100) and replace them yourself. The only special tool you'll need is a 32mm socket.
