Best Answer

Expanding the calipers (when you put in new brake pads) can cause the master cylinder reservoir to overflow. Before attempting to perform repairs, make certain it isn't simply leaking out of the master cylinder reservoir.

HOWEVER...

If it's leaking at the left front wheel, you'll probably need to replace the caliper. Sometimes a hydraulic cylinder, such as the caliper cylinder, can become pitted and when the rubber seal of the piston crosses the pitted surface it can leak brake fluid.

Simple answer, find out where it's leaking, it may be nothing, it may be something to repair.
