To properly diagnose a brake leak, you must first locate the leaking point. The best way to do this is by parking your vehicle on a level surface for a couple of hours, then observing the position of the brake fluid that has accumulated beneath the vehicle. This will give you an idea as to which fitting may be the culprit. If you find that the puddle of brake fluid is beneath the rear of the engine -- not near one of the wheels -- you may have a leak somewhere in (or near) the master cylinder.
Bleeder bolts, sometimes called bleeder valves, are located on the brake calipers and are designed to allow brake fluid to flow out of the system. If you've recently had some brake work done on your vehicle, it may be that one of your bleeder valves was inadvertently left a little loose. If that's the case, it's a simple matter of tightening the valve to stop the fluid flow.
Perhaps you have a brake problem that includes a mushy, or soft, brake pedal. If you experience a brake pedal that goes straight to the floor with little or no resistance, you can quickly pump the pedal to build pressure. If you are unable to build pressure after several quick pumps, you may have a serious leak. It's possible that one of your vehicle's brake lines has been punctured or one of the fittings has failed. Both of these are easily fixed, but you must address them immediately -- your safety and the safety of other drivers depends on it.
Remember, brake fluid is essential for the brake system to operate properly. Leaks in the system release fluid, causing reduced (or even complete loss of) brake pressure. If you don't address the problem, your vehicle will eventually run out of brake fluid; however, chances are you won't get to that point, as the brakes won't continue to work after the fluid level drops beyond a certain level.
