Oh my goodness! I had my rear brakes hang up while driving back in July.  I could smell something, saw a little smoke, and pulled over to investigate. There was a little heat, but seemed like I could limp home. About 5 miles down the road the car shimmied so I pulled over. Left rear wheel was putting out a little smoke, a lot of heat and hubcap burned if touched. Got a flatbed to get me home. I changed pads last month and have been afraid to drive in case I missed something and the real issue was missed. I was on today trying to see if anyone had issues with the pistons or booster sticking. Seeing this makes me even more concerned.

Found a slight leak on the hoses.

replaced today but couldnt find the correct hose for tank to overflow tube.

No fuel resistance tube the correct size

In many cases gas will evaporate before it hits the ground  leaving only some residue at clamps or spilt rubber locations unless leak is bad and then a more visible flow 

Best to have the engine running when looking for seepage or leaking as there is more activity and easier to see 

Replace all rubber hoses with those for ethanol gas to upgrade the fuel system 

Bring the old hose to the auto store for replacement sizes 

The dollars you save on fuel  loss makes the job worth the effort

Very difficult to watch...  I test drove my car to Long Beach yesterday and it had a strong fuel smell.  Often I see small fuel drops on the ground.  Watching this video makes me run to the garage drop my tank and inspect all areas where it might be leaking from. 

Hope the insurance company took care of the owner.  so unfortunate

two years ago , after i changed the rear brakes, my 63 would vibrate badly at about 60 - 65,  i could feel heat coming off rear hub,, i touched it and it was blazing hot, like blister you at touch hot,, and in the end, it ended up being the new brake cylinder was bad,, it would not plunge back out after being pushed in when you put on the brake, so it just kept he show in touch with drum...took for ever and lots of help from you guys to finally figure it out, but looking back, i guess i could have ended up in the same place if i hadn't noticed that intense heat on the rim and hub
