Default brakes

I have a big problem... The other day my brakes felt week and the brake light pops up. automatically im thinking brake fluid. I look at the fluid level and its nearly empty. ok so i fill it up and try to bleed it and all that. well it just kept sucking all the oil everytime I pushed on the brakes and that was after 2 bottles. Then im like ok there's a problem here and I must have a leak. I didnt discover where the actual leak was coming from until today. I discovered my leak is coming from the back passenger side drum. Well, the leak is not coming from the outside of the drum but its dripping from the inside. I tried to get the drum off by pulling it but Im not having any luck here. I need to get the drum off so I can try to fix this leak so I can get pressure in the lines. Please help and let me know what I need to do in order to get this drum off. is there a technique or something? I got a 91 camaro rs TBI.

First make sure the parking brake is off. if its still stuck use piece of you have to smack the drum on the inside lip with a hammer till it breaks loose.

Come on guys dose anyone know about the brake adjuster that automaticly adjusts the brakes. You have to back it off so the shoes will clear the ridge worn in the inside of the drum. which is probably why the wheel cyl. blew out. The rear brakes are worn out causing the wheel cylinder to extend past it's desighn limits, poping the seal.Replace all the rear brakes including the drums if they are not servicable.
