Question brake line question

I think my brake line is leaking on my 1983 F150. There are two lines that run under my radiator. Both are corroded and fluid is coming from them. I thought brake fluid had a stronger smell. It just smells like oil. They aren't covered with rubber or anything like in another post that I read. Do you think these are brake lines? What else could they be? I have good brake pressure. My emergency brake stuck on yesterday. Could this have caused the lines to blow out? Is there any where to get a picture of what line is what under my truck? Thanks for any help!

Just going on a hunch here but I dont think that the brake lines are routed under the radiator. If there are lines that run underneath your radiator they are most likely transmission cooling lines or possibly even power steering lines.

Play it safe and check to se if any of your fluid levels are low as this might give you an indication of what is leaking out.

Good luck.
