Description of the problem	I was driving my 2005 subaru legacy and was approaching a turn. While braking at maybe 30% brake force i felt a slight loss of brake pressure. I knew right away something was very wrong and tried to lightly feel for brake pressure to see if i would be able to emergency stop if necessary. I was able to downshift and knew the roads very well to decrease speed. Once stopped i was able to modulate the brake and look under the car. I observed brake fluid pouring from the underbody tray directly in front of the rear passenger wheel. These brake lines were treated by subaru as a part of a previous recall approx. 2 years prior with a anti-corrosive rust solution. I'm lead to believe there was a second recall notice regarding the same issue, but whether it was completed by the dealership at that time i don't know for sure. I don't believe it was though. I took my subaru to the dealership 6 days ago and they have ordered parts to fix the issue, and i'm lead to believe it'll be paid in-full by the dealership. This was a sudden and bad situation, stopping distance was greatly and quickly reduced. I'm certain there are other drivers would not have noticed the issue until much later.
