losing brake fluid

Hi, i have just replaced my front brake pads and rotors a month ago, but i don't know if that has anything with my losing brake fluid now, it started out slow, brake light only came on when accelerating hard, now 2 days after, its on all the time.

at a complete stop, when i apply my brakes, its slowly slides to the bottom and brakes are barely applied, but when i pull up my e-brake, and brake at the same time, its remains stiff. don't know if this is common or not.

where can i check to see where the leak is, Thanks.

the leak can be in a lot of places; it can be around the caliper(s) on the wheel(s), around the brake master cylinder, or one of the lines may have coroded. I have a leak as well, a slow one, I am taking it to a mechanin tomorrow since I can't see any of the obivous points that it is leaking from.

i have found where the leak is coming from, the rear right wheel, but i have not taken the wheel out to look at it yet, but i will, anyone have any idea why the brakes are stiffer when i pull up the e-brake, i know the leak is coming from the rear, but it is applied by the wire and not fluid pressure.
