Sounds like a bad axle seal in the back. Definitely need to have it
checked.

Definitely need to check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir. A
low level of fluid will cause the brake light to come on.

I'd be worried about the ABS and brake lights being on. Your brakes may
work, but the anti-lock feature isn't. As for the leak, oil can run
along different components and actually drip a long way from the source.
You need to see where it's really coming from.

The Pathpuppy is a great truck and 82K is just getting broken in. Oh,
make sure the timing belt's been changed. That's an interference engine
(broken belt = big $$$).

As others have mentioned, check the level of the brake fluid in the
master cylinder. If at/near the low line, that will trigger both of
the lights (actually that just happened to me Saturday). Of course
it's usually low because the front brake pads are getting low.

As for the oil, you don't say front or rear of the right side of the
vehicle but I'll assume front. If so, it's probably just from oil
changes, that's the general area where the oil filter is located and
someone may not have been hosing down that area as they should have
when they were finished.

Wil - still loving my '95 Pathfinder XE. :-)
