Axel seals leaking grease on the brake shoes. Wheel cylinders leaking brake fluid. To much brake dust in the drums.
Sounds like the clutch master or brake master is leaking hydraulic fluid.
Check the brake fluid reservoir and be certain that it is full. If it's just a matter of the disk brake pads wearing, you might just need to add a little fluid, but if it's leaking fluid you need to get it repaired.
It all depends on what part is leaking what fluid. Brake cylinder would leak brake fluid. Axle seal would leak gear oil.
When a brake line is leaking on the Chevy Venture the brake line should be replaced as soon as possible. A leak, however small, can cause hydraulic fluid to escape the brake line which will cause a loss in brake pressure. The brakes should be bled of air after the new line is put in to remove gaps in brake pedal pressure.
