Brake Pedal to Floor

Drove home from work..got in Jeep next morning backing out and brake pedal sinked all the way to the floor accompanied by brake warning light illuminating on dash.
Upon further inspection brake fluid resevoir empty and a puddle of brake fluid under rear right wheel...
Visual inspection of brake line looks fine..before i tear into this thing is there a common place for the line to leak at the wheel..has anyone had this problem before...thanks for any suggestions.

2001 Jeep Cherokee 4wd all stock.

Doesn't sound like the brake line at all, more than likely the wheel cylinder.

More than likely its the break cylinder. If its drum breaks they are cheap and farly easy to replace.
