Leak in rear brake
1996 Cherokee Country. Noticed the other day my brake fluid was low. Topped it off, came outside later to discover a puddle of brake fluid under my rear passenger tire. All other tires were dry, no leaks. Doesn't seem to be leaking at any point on the line. What things should I check first? What's most common?
Thanks in advance for the help.

For a d35 it is, for the Chy 8.25 you have to shave a 1/8 inch out of the backing plates to fit on the axle tube, there is a bunch of Wright ups on the zj disc swap mod.

Yeah given that this is just my daily driver, I don't think it'll be worth the effort to do a swap. Thanks for all the help y'all. I'll check back in after I replace the cylinders.

they only cost me 10
shouldn't be any more than 15-20 tops.
then you need new shoes, that's another 30.
then you need to bleed the lines.
not hard, as long as you don't break a line trying to remove it from the old wheel cylinder. but if you do, it's only a short line from the distribution block on top of the axle tube. you can just bend it with your hands if you're gentle.
