Hey, Eric!
<snip>... a leak coming from one of the two bolts on the back of the

Sounds to me like your bleeder screw might be loose. Didja try to tighten
it?
If it is loose & that's where you're losing fluid, you're gonna hafta bleed
that side of the brake line...No Doubt you have introduced air to the system
thru the leak...You'll need brake fluid, tubing, a container to keep fluid
in & probably a helper to mash the pedal while you loosen & tighten the
bleeder screw...I missed your earlier threads....Didja have a "spongey"
brake pedal prior to losing the brakes?
