Brake lines

Hey all,

Pulled my car out of the driveway this morning and there was a wet spot under right front wheel. Figured it might be A/C but the spot didn't dry up... Now I'm thinking brake fluid because the pedal has felt mushy recently. I suspect a problem with brake lines or caliper.

Couple things:
- Brake fluid flushed with ATE and brakes fully bled approx. 2 weeks ago
- Front pads are a little worn but still plenty of material. Hawk HPS front/rear pads sitting in my trunk but haven't had time to replace
- Dash shows red car on lift and red brake light. I have new front/rear brake wear sensors that I'm hoping will clear the lights.

My questions:
Am I okay to drive my car home from work? I'm worried I'm going to burst an old brake line and rear end somebody.
Anybody upgraded to stainless steel brake lines or something similar? Example here http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/ss_brake_lines/

Thanks in advance
Max
