I would jack up the vehicle and support it with 4 good jack stands, remove all 4 wheels and disassemble all the brakes inspecting the pads/shoes, rotors/drums, calipers/wheel cylinders, all hold down hardware, brake hoses, brake lines, master cylinder, e-brake cables, e-brake shoes and grease seals, then make a list of the parts that are to be replaced.
