Default Please help me!

I have a 1998 Lexus ES300.
When I bought it I was having quite a few problems with the transmission.
Just recently bought a new one, and had my father put it in.
But now, apparently somehow, (he says the brakeline is busted) I'm not too sure.

Basically, there is brake fluid flowing out from under the car,
at the rear driver-side wheel. It imediately starts flowing when you apply pressure to the brakes, and brakes go directly to the floor.
It only has a small and slow leak when the car is on, and in neutral.

I've tried ordering a part online from O'Reilly's, but I don't know exactly what I'm looking for or what I need. If anyone knows anything about what is going on and what I need. PLEASE EMAIL ME, karagrd@yahoo.com
I will probably forget to get back on here.

And I need to know ASAP.
Thankyou!

I think you need to jack the car and get a good look at where the fluid is coming from while someone applies brake pressure, then you will know better what to fix. Sounds like a loose or broken brake line where it attaches to the caliper

There is no way we can diagnose this over the Internet. Maybe if you put your webcam under the car? You're gonna have to crawl under there and take a look.
