First look inside the wheel, if there's fluid there you got a leak. Leaks around the wheel area are either from (1) brake line has a hole (2) line is not tight (3) bleader screw is loose (4) pull the caliper off and see if the seal around the pistion is a hole (5) make sure you cap to the brake fluid is tight (6) make sure there is no air in the lines.


Try those.

Don't let the calipers hang by the brake hose, when changing rotors.

this is kind of hard to diagnose over the internet w/o seeing your actual brake and where its leaking from.. you might want to check the brake lines, bleeder screw (did you bleed the brakes?), also is your brake fluid level really low?, check the fitting/bolt where the brake line connects to the caliper, etc.. maybe if you could supply some pictures of where you see the fluid or where its leaking we can give you a better answer....

It could be a problem with your master cylender. Also if there is any rust on the pistons for the calipers.
