If you can't spot the leak from a visual check/trace, I'd have the lot off and serviced.

caliper seal has probably leaked, new seal kit required.

Re: brake fluid leak advice please
Hongman's above is probably the best advice (new copper crush washers all round)
Alternatively you could degrease and dry it all off and talc it up (or try without) and see if you can spot where it's leaking from.

Sure it's not the fork seal leaking and running down the leg?
