The Drum you're talking about sounds like the brake power booster. You should have no brake fluid in there. It probably leaked from the master cylinder into the Booster. Remove the fluid immeditely, since it will damage the diaphram in the booster (read expensive). Replace or rebuild the master cylinder and it should be O.K.

I have a leak also that seems to be coming from between the cylinder and the booster. My question is can I take the cylinder off without draining it.
What is between the booster and the cylinder? Is there a gasket of some sort?

sure you can take it off without draining it, but you'll make a mess.

there is nothing between the master and booster
