You will be adding brake fluid to the reservoir often.The brake pedal won't feel firm.

The brake pedal may sink to the floor as you are applying steady pressure.

Do a visual inspection of the brake lines looking for that wet spot.

Is there a brake fluid sealer that works for brake fluid leaks?

NO, the problem needs to be properly repaired. its not like an oil or antifreeze leak. the basic principle of a brake system is the free movement of fluid through the brake lines. an additive to this system to "stop" a leak would ruin the whole system and be catastrophic to fix. brake leaks are generally an affordable fix.

If the brake fluid leaks on a 1994 Toyota Camry what is the problem?

For the car with such age it can be anything. I would start from main brake lines. If the lines are fine, check calipers and rear brake cylinders for leaks. If you find any leak it's easier to replace a part, then trying to fix it.
