Frigid cold, brake fluid leaks on all 4 corners...

So has gotten down to -20 and hadn't driven my truck for a couple days...Go out to start it this morning to no avail (wasn't really surprised by that)

Got to looking around the truck and had brake fluid underneath all four tires, mainly front driver side...

Being that it is still frigid cold, I do not want to work on it right now but need to make a trip, and soon...

Any ideas to exactly where the fluid pushed out of (I assume the lines froze and expanded the fluid) before I tear into it? and out of all 4 corners?:sad:

That is a first for me. Any fluid in the MC reservoir? I hate to admit being rather clueless but...

Can you take some pics and post?
 
I looked under the front and the calipers are leaking...guess it pushed the pads out but crossing fingers it didn't push the pistons so far out that I have to rebuild them...I'm guessing the same thing happened in the rear with the cylinders...

Not in DFW anymore, guess I need to change that, but up in here the Green Bay WI area, it got frigid (to me at least)...

oh, that's definitely frigid

I don't even like how cold it gets in north Texas, it is way too cold for my tastes - I'd prefer 90°F + days and weeks throughout the year
 
Cold weather and oil leaks are pretty common apparently. I actually had something similar but not from the brakes. Had a small leak from what looked like a speed sensor when I left her outside in below 40 degrees, I've kept her in the garage and not a drop of oil is to be found.
