Grand Marquis 8-cyl

1. car was being driven at normal speed, approximately 30 mph, and brakes were applied. Brake pedal traveled further than normal and brake warning light illuminated. When I arrived home I opened the hood and saw the brake fluid level in the master cylinder had dropped significantly. On further inspection I saw brake fluid on the frame rail on the driver side of the car at a location under the driver side front door (approximately). 2. it appears that the rear brake line was rubbing on the car body/frame structure and wore through allowing the brake fluid to leak out. 3. no repairs have been done yet. I am still investigating my options: Repair at my expense, file a claim with Ford, etc.
