Brake Fluid on the floor
For the life of me I can not find where the brake fluid is comming from. There is a small puddle under my car by the front of the passenger side door. It is running down the frame about 1 foot then dripping off the frame near the fuel filter location. The puddle ends up being the size of a silver dollar and only happens after driving it. None of the line/hoses are wet near the front wheel. The seals look good where the rubber makes the connection to the metal tubing. WTF????????? BTW its an 82.

Most likely there is a pinhole leak in a brake line. Get under the car and have someone step on the brake pedal. You'll probably see fluid shooting out from one of the lines. The leaking line might not even be near where the fluid is dripping. Fluid could be shooting a couple of feet before it hits the frame rail and drips down.

You're sure it's brake fluid? The only line in the vicinity goes to the pass side front and crosses over at the front side of the front crossmember. Even a pin hole would leak noticeably under pressure.
Heater hoses at the heater core connection would leak in the area you seem to be noticing and might only drip after running when the pressure is up.
Just a thought, Mike
