How is the brake fluid level in the reservoir? If it hasn't gone down, then that's probably not what's leaking. Have you noticed a foul stinch in the wheel well after driving? If so, it is probably the axle seal leaking differential fluid. I know because the same thing happened just recently on my 2001 Sequoia. The dealership fixed the seal, replaced both rear brake pads and turned both rear rotors, all covered under the 60K/5 year powertrain warranty. Best of luck.

No, not really, i have not smelled anything....

i also realized that i must firmly (really firmly) hold down the brake when changing gears from reverse to drive to stop a loud noise, a screechy high pitch metal grinding squeeky noise....hard to put in words!

Wow, you have a problem. Have you had someone at the dealership listen to this sound while changing gears? I can tell you it's not normal for sure.
