Rear drum leak!!!

Rear drum leak!!!
So i have been leaking brake fluid for a few days and today the fluid got to low before i added more to it and now the pedel is really soft. I climbed under the truck and noticed brake fluid coming out of the drivers side rear brake. What could be leaking in it and how hard would it be to fix it? thanks!

x2 on probably being your wheel cylinder. Ever have your BRAKE light or ABS light go on in the cab possibly after a hard stop? Or your BRAKE light mainly staying on (Low fluid). That a long with dropping fluid levels and difficulty stopping quick was what I noticed when my drivers side and passenger side wheel cylinder went out.
When you replace the wheel cylinder on one side I would highly suggest doing the other. When one goes its only a matter of time before the other does as well. Additionally you may want to replace all the little springs on your drums because I would bet that the side that is leaking is caked in fluid.
