First thing is to narrow down the location of the leak. Verify if the leak is coming from one of the tires, and you can narrow the cause down to a leaky hose or a seal in the wheel's brake mechanisms. If the leak is more centrally located, it could be a line coming from the master cylinder or reservoir.
